Sports clubs and organisations should have a designated Child Welfare or Safeguarding Officer. If you or your child is taking part in activities run by a local club or organisation, this officer should be your first point of contact should you have any concerns.

For Members of the public

Please visit Oxfordshire County Council's Raising a Safeguarding Concern page. This form will ask you a number of questions about the person you are concerned about, whether it's yourself, a friend or neighbour.

Once you have completed the form, someone from the Adult Safeguarding Team should contact you within three working days to discuss your concerns.

You can also raise a concern over the phone by calling 0345 050 7666 during office hours or the Emergency Duty Service number (0800 833 408) outside of those hours. Safeguarding is not an emergency service so if someone requires immediate protection because they are being harmed, call the Police on 999.

Their purpose is to raise awareness and promote the welfare of adults at risk by the development of an effective co-operative. The co-operative is committed to ensuring the work done effectively brings about good outcomes for adults so they can live safe and secure lives.
