Your local social services Children and Families Team has key statutory responsibility for investigating child protection issues. If you look in your phone book or on the internet for the phone number for social services in your county/borough, you should be able to find a number to call - you may be asked to call a further number if ringing out of hours. The social workers will need to know as many details as possible about the child, particularly name, address, and age or date of birth, and the nature of your concerns. You can pass on information anonymously if you wish, but obviously it is far more helpful to them if they can know the nature of your own contact with the child (e.g. neighbour, relative, parent of friend, etc) so that they can get a complete picture and get back to you if they need any further responsibility.

Call NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 (uk).
If the child is being abused NOW then call the police via 999. It is better to be safe and the police say nothing is happening, then to not call and somthing is happening.
Most Social Services Departments also have out of hours numbers which can be found on their websites.

Statutory services in England & Wales are your Local Authority (Social Work Department) and the Police. In Scotland statutory services are Local Authority (Social Work Department), Police and Reporter to the Children's Panel (SCRA). However in Scotland every adult who works with children has a stutory authority under the Children's (Scotland) Act to notify suspected abuse.
