Remember
When faced with a disclosure or concern
- do not guarantee confidentiality.
- be receptive and reassuring.
- sign and date hand written record of concerns noting the time when the matter was passed to DMS.
- share your concerns with the DMS the same day.
Where your concern is URGENT and you are unable to contact DMS, you must report it yourself by contacting Social Work:

Leave a clear, concise message including the childs details, the nature and urgency of the concern and your own contact details. Social work will then contact you to discuss your concern and gather further information.
Where your concern is NON-URGENT please report to Social Work using their online referral system on the WLC website.
