Practitioners

A multi-agency approach means we work together, as practitioners, to help keep people safe from being abused.

If you think someone is being abused, don’t assume that someone else is doing something about it.

You must do the following:

• In an emergency call 999 (i.e. a serious incident, someone is in need of medical attention or a crime may have occurred)
• Contact your manager
• You or your manager must report your concerns to Adult Services IMMEDIATELY

If someone is injured 999 During office hours Hampshire - 0845 603 5630 Southampton - 023 8083 4567 Portsmouth - 023 9268 0810	If you think a crime has taken place Local police on 101 Outside office hours Hampshire - 0845 600 4555 Southampton - 023 8023 3344 Portsmouth - 023 9268 0810
