If you have a concern
If someone is in immediate danger, call 999. Concerns about an adult or child at risk should be reported to the local authority safeguarding team (in Wales, the local council's social services), and we will cooperate. Tell us at thomas.michael.rees@gmail.com so that we can act on a worker or client concern. We will refer to the DBS and other bodies where the law requires, and we will not place a person whose suitability is in doubt.
Our own conduct
Our staff are checked, trained and told how to report. We keep records of concerns securely and share them only where necessary. [Add training and review details.]
