CHRISTMAS 2011 INFORMATION



The DACS Offices are closed for the Christmas period from Friday 23rd December 2011 and open on Tuesday 3rd January 2012.

We know that Christmas can be a difficult time and the New Year may bring you to make new decisions about your life.

If you would like to leave a message on our telephone we will ring you on our return. If you would like to e-mail us we will reply to you on our return. You can e-mail Kate Farmer, Chief Officer of DACS directly and she will make sure you are contacted in the New Year.

We urge you that if you are in immediate danger to call the Police for assistance on 999.

"Make a resolution in the New Year to take care of you and your family. This agency can provide therapeutic intervention that can help you with any decision that is right for you, that might be staying safely or leaving safely. Whatever decision you come to, you don't need to be alone, we are here, please make the call. I would like wish you a peaceful Christmas."
