Safeguarding
If you have immediate concerns for the safety of anyone, you should call 999 for an emergency response.
​
If you are suspicious or concerned about someone’s safety, ring Norfolk County Council on 03448 008020 and choose Option 1. The line is open 24 hours a day. You will need to say if your concern involves an adult or child.
​
You may stay anonymous but please tell them as much as possible so that your concern can be followed up.
If the person is not at immediate risk of harm, you can report your concern using Norfolk County Council's online form.
​
If you see something, or hear something that doesn’t feel right – say something.
​
You can find out more about protecting children at Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board and protecting adults at Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board.
