What you can do

If you believe the child to be at risk of immediate harm, this must be reported to the police on 999 or 101.

The Staffordshire Families Integrated Front Door (SFIFD) Service is a county-wide telephone enquiry service provided by Staffordshire County Council. It serves as the first point of contact for concerns about children and young people

To report a concern you can also fill in a concern form on their website. The link is attached below:

Digital family agreements

Having a family digital agreement in place, helps children to know what to do if something goes wrong and helps parents have conversations with their children about staying safe online. Below are two different types of agreement.
