Child protection
This is a borough wide joint team with the police, who investigates all issues regarding child protection.
They are based at Whitley Bay police station.
Child protection concerns or worries might be about injuries which are unlikely to have been caused by accident, worries that a child is perhaps being sexually abused, or general concerns about the child’s care and general well being.
If you have any concerns about child protection, you will need to contact the First Call service. They will listen to your concerns and decide the best way forward.
