Afghan Bridging Hotel
For safeguarding concerns in the hotel as well as following the procedure above it is good practice to share information about your concerns with the Elmbridge Borough Council staff who work in the hotel. Do not let this delay you from taking action but please share relevant information about risks to/concerns about the people they are working with (unless doing so would compromise a police investigation or could put someone at increased risk of harm)
