Safeguarding adult referrals
The safeguarding adults electronic referral form launched in July 2024 is for referrals from professionals only. Members of the public who would like to raise a safeguarding concern should continue to contact Call Derbyshire on 01629 533190.
The electronic referral form can be saved at the point of submission by the referrer to allow referring agencies to store a copy of the safeguarding adult referral on their own recording systems.
The word document option for submitting referrals is still available but we strongly encourage referrers to use the new electronic version of the form as it is designed to be much more user friendly and will also assist with improving data capture and data quality.
To assist refers with decision-making prior to submitting a referral, guidance and quick reference guides are available from the adult safeguarding decision making guidance page of our website.
For all safeguarding adult referrals in Derbyshire (excluding Derby City) please telephone Call Derbyshire before submitting the referral form.
