What to do if you have concerns about a child or young person

From 1 April 2023 local government in Cumbria will change. The current six district councils and Cumbria County Council will be replaced by two new unitary authorities: Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council.

Cumberland Council will be responsible for the areas of Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland.

Westmorland and Furness Council will be responsible for the areas of Barrow, Eden and South Lakeland.

The two new councils will be responsible for all the services previously delivered by the District Councils and Cumbria County Council, including services for education, children and families.
