Worried about a child?

If you are worried about the welfare or safety of a child it is very important that you contact us.

All reports or enquiries concerning the welfare or safety of a child must go straight to the Referral and Initial Assessment team (RIAT) on 0161 603 4500 as the first port of call. This applies to reports from council staff, the public, partners and outside agencies. The email address is worriedaboutachild@salford.gov.uk.

If a child is in immediate danger of being harmed, or if a child is home alone, the police should be called on 999.
