Our Designated Safeguarding Lead
Stepwise Recovery has a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) responsible for how we respond to concerns about children, young people and adults at risk. In keeping with the recovery tradition of anonymity, our DSL is named in our internal safeguarding policy rather than on this website; their identity is disclosed on request to schools, treatment services, commissioners, local authorities and statutory agencies. You can contact the DSL directly and confidentially at [email protected]. Concerns submitted through the form below are routed to the DSL.
