BCP Council has its own Children’s Services Out of Hours team who operate in the evenings and at weekends to ensure that children and families in crisis can continue to access support.
The team works alongside daytime services to respond to the needs of children and young people who may be at risk of harm outside normal working hours.
The work can be varied and it often involves a multi-agency approach, alongside our police and health colleagues, to apply and agree immediate safety planning and actions with families where situations can’t wait for daytime services.
