Keeping children safe is everybody’s business - we all have a responsibility both in our private and professional lives. If you think a child is at risk of harm, you must take action. If you think the child may be in immediate danger, you should call 999, otherwise you should contact Lewisham Children’s Social Care on 020 8314 6000.
You can also contact Children’s Social Care, if, for whatever reason, you are finding it hard to cope with your own children. A social worker may be able help, e.g. by helping you get access to support services. The Lewisham Children and young people's directory provides a full list of all the organisations and services working with children and families in Lewisham.
