Reporting to social work

Have name changed as if linked to other things I've said it could be outing and cause issues. I'm just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has advice. I know a family who are currently involved with social work but are also actively putting their children at risk daily. It's pretty much just a case of knowing when social worker will be attending so behaving for that small window. This is a very real concern but not many people know they are doing it. It would cause major issues if they found out who reported them but I feel it needs to be done anyway. Is there a way to report it without them finding out who it was? Unwilling to take the word of anyone in the department that they would keep it confidential, know from experience that doesn't really happen. Any advice would be appreciated.

Ah right ok well SS might realise they are putting on a front and are dealing with it I worked with parents who put it on you can see through it. If you think the dc are in danger you need to phone them even if it is anon you don't need to give your name just theirs and what you have seen its for the kids sake i appreciate your pickle though

Phone the duty social work number and report. Explain your concerns but you don’t need to leave your name.
