About your concern
Please provide a factual, concise account of the safeguarding concern. Include the date, time, location, and names of anyone involved.
Describe exactly what was seen, heard, or disclosed — using the young person’s own words where possible — without interpretation or assumptions. Avoid opinion or diagnosis. If physical marks were observed, describe their appearance and location.
Note any immediate actions taken, including who was informed and when.
If there have been previous concerns about this young person, please reference them briefly (e.g., “second concern in two weeks” or “linked to previous incident on [date]”) to help identify any emerging patterns.
All concerns, no matter how small they may seem, should be recorded and shared with the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) as soon as possible
