Worried about a child?
The Children's Advice and Support Service (CASS) provides a single point of contact for professionals and members of the public who want to seek support or raise concerns about a child.
We want to keep all children and young people in Birmingham safe from harm. If you are concerned about a child please contact us. We will listen, assess your concerns, and can take action if a child is at risk.
If you're not sure whether a child is at risk you can discuss the circumstances with us or with someone else who works with children, such as a teacher, health visitor or the NSPCC. All professionals who work with children have a responsibility to safeguard them and will know how to help.

Domestic Abuse Counselling Service
Our Domestic Abuse Counselling Service is based in Kingstanding (North Birmingham) and provides a range of counselling services and support to victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse is a pattern of controlling and aggressive behaviours from one adult towards another within the context of an intimate relationship.
It can show itself as physical, psychological or emotional abuse. The violence and abuse can be actual or threatened and can happen once every so often or on a regular basis. It can happen to anyone, and in all kinds of relationships – heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).
The Counselling service is for both men and women over the age of 16 years who have experienced or have been affected by domestic abuse at any point in their lives.
The service provided is confidential, free of charge and offered during term time only.
At the present moment, we are able to serve postcodes B23, B24, B35 and B44
We will be happy to accept a referral from an agency or directly from the domestic abuse victim. Please contact us at
Tel. 07753224835 or email: counselling@new-heights.org.uk.
