Report a concern
If something is wrong, tell us.
How somebody behaved, something unsafe on a site or a shoot, discrimination, how a decision was made, how money was handled. You do not need proof and you do not need to be the person it happened to.
If you or somebody else is in immediate danger, call 999.
Anonymously
You can leave your name out.
The form works with every identifying field blank. Without contact details we cannot ask a follow-up question or tell you what happened.

If it is about a director
Or if you would rather it did not come to us at all, use one of the independent routes below. They are not ours, they do not need our involvement, and nothing you have with us is affected.
One-to-one mentoring and arranged accommodation have a route to raise a concern that does not go through the person involved: this one, or any of the routes below.
Outside the organisation
You never have to come to us first.
Using an external route does not affect anything you have with us. For a concern about an adult at risk, the local authority adult safeguarding team is the route that does not depend on us at all.
The police
For anything criminal, including assault, harassment and threats. 999 in an emergency, 101 otherwise.
Any time
The local authority
For a safeguarding concern about an adult at risk, through the adult safeguarding team where it happened.

The Health and Safety Executive
For unsafe working practice on a site or a production.

Where a concern reveals something we are legally required to report, we report it. Nobody is disadvantaged for raising something in good faith.
