An emergency protection order is made when a child or young person is in immediate danger and may have to be taken away from home quickly to make them safe.
This might be because someone has called the Police if they are worried that someone is at risk. Children's Services or anyone like the Police or a neighbour can go to a magistrate and apply for an Emergency Protection Order.
If you are concerned about a child's welfare, please contact Children's Services directly. If you need to speak to a social worker urgently out of our normal office hours, please telephone our Emergency Duty Team on (01803) 292166
