We’re carrying out essential maintenance to our website from noon Friday 26 April, until noon Monday 29 April. Some of our online services may be unavailable during this time.

Advice and support on services for children and families

Child care referrals

Contacting social work services with concerns about children and young people

Your referral will be treated seriously, considered and acted upon as appropriate.

Anyone making a referral should be prepared to provide clear and accurate information in order to allow social workers to make an initial child care assessment and, as a result, guide the action undertaken.

Contact us at your local social work office or - outwith office hours - contact the social work emergency service on 0800 121 4114.
