Local safeguarding children board
Cornwall Council and the Council of the Isles of Scilly, in
exercising their social care functions, are responsible for
ensuring there is a Local Safeguarding Children's Board (LSCB)
covering their area, to bring together representatives of each of
the main agencies and professionals responsible for helping to
protect children from abuse and neglect.
The Local Safeguarding Children's Board is an inter-agency forum
for agreeing how the different services and professional groups
should co-operate to safeguard children in the area, and for making
sure that arrangements work effectively to bring about good
outcomes for children. The LSCB has a comprehensive website
detailing their work and offering useful advice: Local Safeguarding Children's
Board web site.
Where can I see a copy of the Child Protection
Procedure?
You can view the South West Child Protection
Procedure on the Local Safeguarding Children
board website. It is a lengthy document detailing the
nature of child abuse, the legal framework, etc.
