We are a county-wide telephone enquiry service for all children who:

Have you got a serious concern about the safety of a child or young person up to the age of 18?

Do you think a child or young person is being harmed or is at risk of being harmed?

Are you worried that a child is living in circumstances where they are treated badly and not cared for properly?

If you've answered yes to any of these questions and you don't believe that the child or young person is being supported by an allocated worker, please contact the Staffordshire Childrens Advice & Support Service immediately.

If you are contacting us about someone over the age of 18 please report this to the adult safeguarding team.

Please note: If the child you are contacting us about already has a dedicated worker please contact them directly in the first instance.

Phone: 0300 111 8007 and select option 1.

Ideally we would want to receive all enquiries by telephone so that we can gather all necessary information in a timely manner and make sure that parental agreement has been obtained from those with parental responsibility unless this places an adult or child at risk of harm.

If you cannot reach us by phone, please make your enquiry online.

For your information before making your enquiry you may wish to check the procedures online website for a glossary of relevant terminology.

Opening times

Out of hours

Outside of the hours above, or on weekends and bank holidays, please contact the Emergency Duty Team by phoning 0345 604 2886.

Professionals

Please refer to the threshold document on the Staffordshire Safeguarding Children's Board website to make sure that your enquiry is in relation to tier 3 or 4 services as Staffordshire Childrens Advice and Support Service does not deal with tier 2 referrals these can be made by yourself direct to your local tier 2 service.

The Staffordshire connects website provides a wealth of services that professionals and families can access without an enquiry being made to Staffordshire Childrens Advice and Support Service (if you type in 'Family Support Providers' in the Children's Centres and Parenting section it will provide you with the contact details for your local tier 2 family support services.) Parents or carers should always be informed that you are contacting us, unless to do so would place them or the children at risk of harm.

Adding supporting documents

If you have already made your enquiry by telephone and wish to submit any forms to support your enquiry you can add these online.

If you're worried a child is feeling suicidal

While not every child with depression or anxiety will feel suicidal, sometimes mental health problems can feel overwhelming for children and young people. If a young person talks about wanting to hurt or harm themselves or expresses suicidal feelings, they should always be taken seriously.

Signs that a child or young person may be having suicidal feelings or thinking about suicide include:

becoming more depressed or withdrawn, spending a lot of time by themselves

an increase in dangerous behaviours like taking drugs or drinking alcohol

becoming obsessed with ideas of suicide, death or dying, which could include internet searches

saying things like "I'd be better off dead", "No one would miss me", "I just wish I wasn't here anymore".

If you're worried, it's important to get help right away. Our trained Helpline counsellors can provide help or advice over the phone at 0808 800 5000. Children and young people under 19 can also get support from Childline online or over the phone, 24 hours a day.

However a child or young person feels, remind them that they're not alone and there are ways to cope and feel better. Childline also has online advice and tips for young people on coping with suicidal feelings that they can use right now.
