The automated message may tell you that the office is closed but there are staff there to take your call. Please hold on until they answer. Any contact with the Children's Emergency Duty Team has to go through the Sutton call centre and you should make it clear that you are seeking support from the Children's Emergency Duty Team as a Kingston resident.
