The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) are the leading children's charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands.

Alongside The FA's own procedures for responding to, and reporting concerns, about a child, The FA promotes the use of NSPCC helpline 0808 800 5000 which responded to almost 55,000 contacts from adults concerned about the welfare of a child last year.

The NSPCC helpline is open 24hrs a day and is a place adults can contact by phone or online to get advice or share their concerns about a child, anonymously if they wish. It's staffed by professional practitioners with backgrounds in jobs like teaching, healthcare and social work, who know how to spot the signs of abuse and what to do to help.

If you have concerns about a child or young person please contact the NSPCC.
