⚠️ IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING A REFERRAL
FORM ONLINE When you request a referral
link, your email address is collected and stored. If you start filling in a
referral form but do not press 'Submit', some of the information you have
already entered may still be saved automatically in our case management system
and may be visible to a small number of authorised EDAN staff. We will NOT progress, contact
you about, or act on any referral that has not been formally submitted.
However, because of the way the system currently works, we cannot guarantee
that any unsubmitted information will be immediately deleted. Please avoid entering sensitive
personal details, including information about children, safeguarding matters,
or criminal offences, until you are ready to submit the form in full. We are
actively working with our system provider to improve this. For more details, please see
Section 7 of this Referrals Privacy Policy (‘Important information about incomplete
referrals’). |
3. Contact us via email or use the chat function to make initial contact and request a call-back. Please let us know when it is safe for us to contact you.
