Concerns about someone's safety

If you’re concerned about the safety or wellbeing of an adult or a child, contact the police. 

Call 999 for immediate help or to report a crime in progress.  

We do not have the responsibility to investigate concerns about a person’s safety or wellbeing. 

If you report a concern to us, we need to pass it onto the police or local authority.
