Short profile:
Safeguarding and Protecting our children and young people from harm, and supporting and preparing them through to adulthood, has always been central to the planning and provision of services in Halton. We want to make sure that children and young people in Halton feel safe and cared for.
Detailed description:
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children requires effective co-ordination in every local area. For this reason, the Children Act 2004 required each Local Authority to establish a Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB). The LSCB is the key statutory mechanism for agreeing how the relevant organisations in each local area will co-operate to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in that locality, and for ensuring the effectiveness of what they do. Halton Safeguarding Children Board is a statutory body consisting of agencies and professionals responsible for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people across the borough.
