If you are, or you suspect someone is being abused and the person is:
Complete the adult electronic multi-agency referral form – E-MARF
Wherever possible, consent to raise the safeguarding referral and to share information must be sought and the wishes and views of the adult obtained.
If the person is at immediate risk call the emergency services on 999.
DO NOT use the EMARF if the person is not being abused, but may be in need of care and support.
To refer yourself or a person for social care support, advice, information or an assessment of care and support needs, please use the Adult Social Care Contact Form.
You can also call us on 01902 551199 during opening hours, or 01902 552999 for emergency out of hours. Normal opening hours are Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 4.30pm.
Please note, any EMARF’s which are completed inappropriately will be returned and not progressed via the Adult Safeguarding route.
If a child is in immediate danger of serious harm or has been left alone dial 999 and let the operator know that it is a possible child protection issue.
If the child is not in immediate danger of serious harm but you know or suspect they are being abused or neglected call us:
If you suspect or believe a child is suffering or is likely to suffer Significant Harm, including any form of mistreatment or abuse, you should report your concerns.
Organisations should report their concerns by phone or by completing the Multi-Agency Referral Form (MARF). If you work for an organisation, and initially report a concern by phone, you must always complete the online MARF within 1 hour of any phone call preferably after having spoken with your organisation’s Named Safeguarding Children Lead.
Delivering high-quality care is essential to ensuring individuals receive the support they need in a respectful and effective manner. The Care Quality Concerns Referral Form is a simple and efficient tool for reporting issues related to the standard of care provided.
The referral form can be used by professionals to address care quality concerns such as inadequate service delivery, poor communication, delays, or breaches in agreed standards of care. Completing this form ensures that any problems are identified and resolved quickly, contributing to the continuous improvement of care services.
