For immediate safeguarding concerns

If you have an urgent concern for a child call 999 or 101.
If there is an immediate concern out of hours

To make a No Names Consultation (NNC)
Locality and Community Support Service (LCSS): 0345 050 7666
Please note this is now the same number as for MASH. Practitioners will be put through to the Customer Services Team where they can opt for either a No Names Consultation (NNC) or to refer a child for a social care assessment, opt for the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).
For other non-immediate safeguarding concerns talk to one of the local LCSS Teams.
