Child protection

Child protection

Welcome to our child protection website, which has been significantly improved over the last few months to enhance its appearance, contents and functionality.  This work was undertaken primarily in response to the findings of a recent survey we undertook with just under 1000 practitioners across Perth and Kinross.

Within this website, many new features have been added to the existing information, guidance and signposting.  More information has been added in the form of downloads and electronic links, which we hope you will find to be relevant and useful.

Information has been placed under a number of banners, including  Advice to Children and Young People, Advice to Parents and Carers and Advice to Practitioners.

If you have concerns about a child please contact the Council's Child Protection Service.  The Child Protection Duty Team is based at Pullar House in Perth, Monday to Friday from 9 am until 5 pm.  The Duty Officer will be available to discuss concerns about the care and protection of any child in the local community.  Outwith these hours enquiries are dealt with by the Out of Hours Service which is based at Almondbank House, Perth.  The Duty Officer (for both locations) can be contacted on the following number: 01738 476768 (24 hours).
