There will be times when we have a legal responsibility to look after the welfare and protection of vulnerable children. This means that we will be involved in situations where they could be at risk of harm or abuse. We have provided information to guide you on what to do if you are worried that a child is being abused, or are a professional working within child protection.
If you have concerns about a child please contact the Council's Child Protection Team based at Pullar House in Perth. The Child Protection phone line, 01738 476768, will be operated by a Duty Officer from 9 am until 5 pm, Monday to Friday. The Duty Officer will be available to discuss concerns about the care and protection of any child in the local community. Outwith these hours, the contact number will be 0845 30 111 20.
All children have the right to be kept safe from harm. You can find information for children and young people about how to keep safe.
If you are a parent or carer, you can find information about services for children and families in need of extra support.
Workers can access up to date research articles, links and publications relating to Child Protection.
