Emergency Duty Team (EDT)
At all other times the Emergency Duty Team (EDT) acts as the 'first point of contact' for Children's Social Care. EDT can be contacted on 0345 050 0148. EDT will only respond to Emergencies that cannot wait until the next working day. This is usually circumstances where there are immediate concerns regarding the welfare or safety of Children or there is a risk of family breakdown, and the Child/children are being placed in 'care'. If you contact EDT and the concern is not immediate it is likely you will be asked to complete a service request form which MASH will respond to within daytime hours.
Please note if you believe a child or young person is at immediate risk of harm, you should contact the police urgently, CALL 999 in an EMERGENCY.
