What to do if you have concerns?
The best advice is to trust your instincts. Even if someone isn’t involved in County Lines drug dealing, they may be being exploited in some other way, so it’s always worth speaking out.
You can help tackle this type of exploitation by knowing what to look for, including a change in behaviours or circumstances.
If you believe that someone may be being exploited in this way, you can give information 100% anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Crimestoppers are not the police, they are a charity. Anonymous means your identity is completely unknown. If you think someone is in immediate danger, dial 999.
