Children’s Social Services 

Birmingham City Council’s Children’s Social Services support children, young people, and families to stay safe, healthy, and thrive. They offer help with concerns about child protection, family difficulties, disability, and support for young carers. Social workers and family support teams work with families to create safe, stable environments and to provide practical advice, early help, and protection where needed.

If you are worried about a child’s safety or wellbeing, or need support for your family, you can contact Children’s Social Services for advice, assessment, and help.
