Our borough community services operate a duty rota during normal working hours. This means that there will be someone available to answer telephone queries and concerns from young people, parents, carers, and professionals.
The duty worker will review your referral to screen for risks to the child or young person. If we do have any concerns about any immediate risks to the safety and wellbeing of a child or young person, or we do not have enough information, we will contact the referrer, and any other professionals involved.
All of our referrals are reviewed at service meetings. We will contact the referrer, and family to inform them of the outcome of the referral.
