Safeguarding

We all have a duty to protect children and vulnerable adults in our community.

In an emergency, please call 999

Children’s safeguarding concern

If a child is not in immediate danger but at risk of harm contact the Norfolk Children’s Advice and Duty Service (CADS) on 0344 800 8020. Children’s Services will listen to your call. They may act immediately to keep a child safe and they also work with families to offer support at difficult times.

You can also contact a member of the Healthy Child Programme by calling Just One Number on 0300 300 0123 or texting Parentline on 07520631590. Our opening hours are 08:00-18:00 Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays) and 09:00-13:00 on Saturdays.
