In February 2022, Barnardo’s launched a Telephone Helpline service in Suffolk.
It is a free and confidential emotional well-being service for parents, carers and young people aged 0-25 years.
It provides a signposting, information, resources, and support service that can help and direct callers to any appropriate services that are required. They take time to listen to establish the most appropriate support, and can provide a vast range of resources for specific advice.
The Telephone Helpline is available Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm. It has a voicemail facility where you can leave a message, and we will get back to you.
The Barnardo’s phone line number is ☎ 03456 002 090 (Option 2)
Information for staff:
If you have a safeguarding concern that occurs outside of school hours (for example, if you receive a troubling email from a pupil or parent) the correct protocol is as follows:
- Ring Customer First on ☎ 0808 800 4005
- If out of hours, this will be redirected to Emergency Duty Service. They will provide advice to the caller.
