If a child or young person is at risk of significant harm you must (immediately) call the Children’s Advice & Duty Service (CHAD) on 01782 235100.

You must have the child’s details ready to share when requested.

If your concern arises after 5pm or at a weekend/during school holidays contact the Emergency Duty Team on 01782 234234.
