Staying Safe

What does it do?

Don’t ignore it! Please contact Kingston Community Care Services. We know that raising concerns about abuse is not easy and we will handle your call with care. Once you have contacted us, and with your permission, we will carry out careful and sensitive enquires.
What happens then will depend on the seriousness of the situation. If you are the person being abused, we will offer you information and advice so that you can make an informed choice about any help you need or action you might want to take.
If you are contacting us about someone else and they are unable to make an informed choice, we will make sure they are properly cared for and protected.
