I need help with an urgent safeguarding issue

If you need help with an urgent safeguarding issue, you can phone 023 8083 3003.

In an emergency out of hours, see our out of hours contact information.

Remember, call 999 if an adult is in immediate danger.

What will happen next?

We are able to take a number of actions, which might include:

• Listening, helping and supporting the person
• Working with them to stop the abuse and protect them or others from further harm
• Supporting the person and their carers through the process
• If a crime has been committed, we will work with the police
• Being available to offer support in the future
• If we cannot help, we will find out who can

All matters will be handled confidentially. However, if the issues concern evidence of a crime or unacceptable risk, this may be shared with the appropriate authorities.
