Information for parents/carers when making a referral to Children's Social Care

As a professional, you may identify safeguarding children concerns and need to make a referral to Children's Social Care.  To support professionals when informing a family that a referral is being made, Sefton IFD have produced a postcard which can be provided to families to explain 'what happens next'....

This simple postcard will explain the possible next steps and a telephone contact number.

Download and print off copies and keep them to hand when required.
