What is Darlington Safeguarding Partnership?

Darlington Safeguarding Partnership is a multi-agency partnership of different organisations whose goal is to keep children and young people safe.   Our job is to make sure that Darlington is a safe place to live.  

How do we do this?

We make sure that all people who work to protect children and adults, such as doctors and nurses, the police, teachers and social workers all work together to make sure that children and adults who need help are safe and given support. We have meetings where we make sure that everyone is doing things properly and that children, young people and adults in Darlington are safe.

We would like to hear from you!

To do our job properly we need to know what you think. What can we do to keep children and adults safe, do you have any ideas? What are you worried about? Do you have any questions? You can contact us at any time by e- mail DSP@darlington.gov.uk with your ideas.

What do I do if I need help?

If you are worried about yourself or another child who is being harmed you can contact the Children’s Access Point by telephoning 01325 406222 or if you prefer you can contact Childline on 0800 1111 and this call will be free.
