Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board
Break the silence
Do you have concerns about the safety of a child?
You can make a real difference to a child's life by asking for help on their behalf.
The National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) tells us that in two thirds of cases, the child abuse goes unreported at the time and many children are forced to suffer in silence.
With your help we can break this silence.
You can get advice from your local children's social care at the following places:
| Area | Telephone number |
|---|---|
| Ashfield | 01623 405300 |
| Bassetlaw | 01777 716161 |
| Broxtowe | 0115 9175800 |
| Gedling/Rushcliffe | 0115 8546000 |
| Mansfield | 01623 433433 |
| Newark & Sherwood | 01636 682700 |
You can also contact your Local police NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 500
If you are not sure that what you are worried about is child abuse you should talk to someone who works with children and ask them for advice.
Examples of this would be a doctor, health visitor or teacher.
