If you are concerned about the welfare of a child, or you think a child is being harmed, abused or neglected, the best way to report your concerns is to make a safeguarding referral using the online safeguarding referral form (opens in a new window) on the West Sussex County Council website.
The online form is the best way of reporting your concerns, but if you would prefer to report your concerns by telephone, you can do so using the following telephone numbers:
- 01403 229900 (Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 17:00)
- 03302 226664 (if you require the Emergency Duty Team outside of office hours)
