Cheshire East Consultation Service (ChECS)

The Cheshire East Consultation Service (ChECS) is the ‘front door’ for access to services, support and advice for children and their families, from early help and support through to safeguarding and child protection.

Phone  ChECS on 0300 123 5012 (option 3, option 2) to report concerns you may have of a child's safety or wellbeing. Callers will be directed to a Social Worker who will take details of the caller with regard to their concerns.  The worker will gather your information and advise you of the next step.

If you need to contact someone out of hours and you believe it to be an emergency that can't wait, please call our Emergency Duty Team on 0300 123 5022.

Do not post or email your concerns to us but call for a consultation.
