Is it a safeguarding issue if a person is allowing live in partner to do sex work in the house when this person's teenagers are also living there?Teenagers aren't in the house when it happens.

Well what do you think? Are creepy men entering the house and paying for sex? Or is it an only fans thing where nobody knows the address?

How old is teenage?

Sosostressedandanxious · 11/06/2025 20:09

Personally I would be reporting this to Social Services and they can investigate and see if it is a safeguarding issue.

How do you know what they do when nobody is around?

HonestOpalHelper · 11/06/2025 20:16

If the teens are not there, then no arguably not, if however they are there some of the time possibly yes.

It will very much depend on the specifics of what is going on, how old the teens are, whether there is any signs of them being impacted.

If you are concerned report to SS and let them decide based on the complete picture.

Yes report to their school or social services.

Another vote for reporting it and letting someone qualified make the call over whether it is an issue or not.
If it involves people visiting the address, even when the children aren't present, I'd still say they are being put at risk!

Yes it absolutely is a safeguarding issue

Pizza4Tea · 11/06/2025 22:25

I would report to Social Services and raise safeguarding. The more reports they get the more likely they will investigate.

I would report it, so that they can do their assesment of the situation, however be prepared that it may be deemed not to be a safeguarding issue. Being involved in behaviour considered immoral or criminal is not in itself something that parents can't do. If they take steps to keep it separate from the children, and avoid trouble at the door, the state can't intervene.

People coming to the house - Yes

Internet stuff - No
