Out of Hours Service
The Emergency Social Work Service is a Stirling Council led service, funded jointly by Stirling, Clackmannanshire and Falkirk Councils offering an outwith office hours service to those three council areas. It is also known as the emergency duty team or EDT. We work outwith the usual 9 am - 5p.m office hours, weekends and public holidays. Contact us on 01786 470500.
The difference between out of hours and the local social work service is that we only deal with emergencies. If your difficulty cannot wait until the office covering your area, is open, we can work with you to sort it out.
We are a dedicated team of social workers specifically trained to respond to emergency situations. At any one time two of the team are working to provide a service across the three councils.
We work with all the people who use the social work service including children and families, adult services, criminal justice service and community care. As well as working in close partnership with our local office colleagues, we also work in partnership with other services.
