Safeguarding

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service aim to protect the mental and physical welfare of all people in the community that we serve 

We believe that everyone, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial or ethnic origin, religious belief and sexual orientation have a right to protection from harm. We know it can be difficult to report abuse, but if you don’t help, who will? You can report safeguarding concerns by phone or online at any time.

How to report concerns of abuse or neglect:

If it is an emergency or there is a threat of immediate danger, always dial 999.

For other calls to the police please ring 101 or report online here: www.westmercia.police.uk/report
