Dealing with an urgent situation?

Immediate risk?

In the event of an emergency, do not hesitate to call 999. It may feel very hard if this involves a loved one or a relative, but seeking help urgently if anyone is at immediate risk of harm is the right thing to do for everyone's safety and wellbeing.

Need professional specialist support?

There are also a number of organisations that can help you get the support you need out of hours.

Call the NHS 111 service if you are feeling unwell and need a telephone health assessment or need to get in touch on behalf of someone you're looking after – just dial 111. You can also call this number if you need mental health support (select the mental health option). Contact your GP for advice on how to deal with any symptoms of a health issue and the treatment available.
Samaritans are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – you can call free anytime, from any phone on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org
Social services: If your normal office is closed and you need urgent help, there will be an emergency duty team you can contact. An easy way to search online is to use Google to search for "emergency duty team" and the name of your local council.
In Northern Ireland emergency social work contacts can be found by going to www.hscni.net and finding your own local Health and social Care Trust website.
