Reporting a Safeguarding Concern

If you need to report a safeguarding concern, this must be submitted directly to the LTA Safeguarding Team in the first instance and can be done online by going to: https://safeguardingconcern.lta.org.uk.

If your concern is extremely urgent or serious, you should contact either the police or your local authority children’s or adult’s services.
