As a local authority, the London Borough of Sutton are committed to protecting and safeguarding children and young people in the Borough. In order to do this effectively, the Children’s First Contact Service (CFCS) has been designed and implemented by the Sutton Local Safeguarding Children Partnership to replace the existing multiple entry points with a single quick and easy referral and assessment pathway to access Children’s Social Care in Sutton. This reduces any potential confusion, duplication or delay.
As part of this service, the CFCS referral form is the quickest and easiest way to access support from Children’s Services. This single referral form will be the new format for the following:
Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) - Referral Form
Early Support & Family Help
iCount and / or Short Breaks
Occupational Therapy assessment
If you are concerned about the safety of a child or young person in Sutton, you can complete this form to make a referral to the Children's First Contact Service [External Link].
