Concerned about someone who works with children?

If you’re concerned that someone in your organisation poses a risk to children, you must contact your most senior officer within your organisation, it’s the law.

You can 'whistleblow' and pass on information concerning wrongdoing to a third party, such as LADO or the NSPCC:

• if you feel that insufficient action is taken by your organisation’s leadership in response to reporting of concerns
• if you are worried that you will be penalised for reporting concerns
• if you continue to have concerns after reporting

All organisations should have a whistleblowing policy.

Anyone is welcome to contact the LADO team to discuss whistleblowing.

The NSPCC whistleblowing advice line provides advice and support.
