Peterborough Safeguarding Children Board (PSCB)

Peterborough Safeguarding Children Board brings together representatives of each of the main agencies responsible for promoting children's welfare, and helping to protect children from abuse and neglect.

 

It is responsible for developing, monitoring and reviewing safeguarding policies, procedures and practice within Peterborough, and for providing interagency training for staff across the city who work with children and families.

 

The detailed roles and responsibilities of Local Safeguarding Children Board's are listed in Working Together to Safeguard Children (Department of Health 2006).

 

Under the terms of the Children Act 2004 Area Child Protection Committees have been replaced by Local Safeguarding Boards which have increased statutory powers and responsibilities.
