Key points
If you have discussed your concerns with your manager or a senior colleague and you believe that the child may be at risk of significant harm, you should make a referral to Children's Social Care
How to do it
It is important that you carefully note your concerns in writing. Your records should cover these basic facts:
- what you saw: when and where
- what you said: when, where and who to
- what was said to you: when, where and who by
- what you thought and why you thought it
- what you did.
Find out if there have been any previous concerns from within your agency, and who is the lead worker in the relevant agency. Compile an up-to-date case record of important events (a chronology).
