This form is to be used when making a referral into Children’s Social Care.
The form should be completed with consent wherever possible. However, if the referral is due to child protection concerns and to approach the child/young person/parent/carer would mean an increased risk of significant harm, prejudice the prevention or detection of crime, or place an adult at risk of significant harm, then consent is not required. Details of consent should be recorded in Section 7.
