What is the Kirklees
Emergency Duty Service?
It is a team of experienced social workers who can respond to Kirklees
residents who have urgent needs when the social care offices are closed.
There are normally two social workers on duty, one after 1am in the

under the Mental Health Act (1983). The Emergency Duty Service social
workers are on duty to help both adults and children.

The Emergency Duty Servic is open:
- weekdays 5.15pm to 8.45am (from 4.45pm on Fridays).
- weekends and bank holidays, 24 hours a day.
