Emergencies/Concerns

If you are concerned that a child or young person is being harmed through abuse or neglect, our Referral and Assessment Service is where to start.

The number to call is: 01753 875362. The operating hours (for this team only) are 9am to 5pm

Please do NOT use the number above for general enquiries. For these, use 01753 477321 between 9am and 5pm.

For emergencies outside these hours call the Emergency Duty Team on 01344 786543 email: EDT@bracknell-forest.gov.uk or dial 999.

If the child or young person requires immediate protection please call the Front Door Hub on 01753 875362 and send the electronic multi-agency referral form (MARF) to sloughchildren.referrals@scstrust.co.uk

The Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) works with several multi-agencies to gather information on referrals. More information on this, and the Referral and Assessment Service, can be found here.
