From 16th December 2013 First Response will be the place to call in Bristol if you are concerned about a child or young person or think they need support.
When you call, the team will ask you questions to work out the best route for helping the child or family. This may result on a referral to Early Help or directly to a Social Work Team
It has been piloted in North Bristol since March 2013.
First Response: 0117 903 6444
So change that telephone number on your child protection policy.
