Welcome to Wiltshire's Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) website. This website gives the public and professionals working in services related to children useful information about how organisations work together to protect children from abuse and neglect.
Children can only be safeguarded properly if agencies work effectively together. Local safeguarding children boards (LSCBs) are designed to help ensure that this happens. They put the former Area Child Protection Committees (ACPCs) on a statutory footing through the Children Act 2004.
LSCB's include representatives of local authorities, health bodies, the police, schools, voluntary organisations and many others. The objective of LSCBs is to coordinate and to ensure the effectiveness of their member agencies in safeguarding children.
You can find lots of useful information under the links above. The procedures tab will take you to the South West Child Protection Procedures that Wiltshire are proud to have contributed to, along with 10 other Local Authorities in the South West. The workers tab takes you to protocols and useful information for practitioners.
