Definitions
Practitioner
‘Practitioner’ describes anyone who comes into
contact with children through paid or voluntary
work
They may also be people with caring
responsibilities for children in need of care and
support
Report
A ‘duty to report’ replaces the older term ‘make a
referral’ to social services
Previously: Now:
‘Make a referral’ ‘Make a report’
Concern
There may not always be evidence of abuse, neglect or
harm
Practitioners may only suspect (rather than know) a child is
experiencing or at risk of abuse
This may be based on:
• information from different sources over time
• professional judgement
• seemingly insignificant information that may be part of a
bigger picture
These situations, where there is no clear factual evidence,
are referred to as concerns
