Emergency procedures for uncollected children

If there is an emergency, where you have not been able to contact us and your child is at school beyond 4.00 pm we will act in your child’s best interests to ensure they are safe and follow Lambeth’s procedures. If you are unable to make contact with us at school please telephone Lambeth Social Care, Integrated Referral Hub on 020 7926 5555 or the Emergency Duty Team on 020 7926 1000. Our aim is that children are in a safe place with familiar adults until contact is made with the parent or named relative/family friend. Please appreciate how important it is that we have up-to-date information about how to contact you.
