Warwickshire Children Safeguarding Board: new website and Inter-agency procedures

New Safeguarding Website

Warwickshire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB), together with Warwickshire Safeguarding Adults Board, have developed a new safeguarding website, bringing together information and guidance for adults, children, young people and their families and the professionals who work with them. 

To access the new site, go to www.safeguardingwarwickshire.co.uk.

New Inter-Agency Safeguarding Procedures

WSCB have also published new Inter-agency safeguarding procedures. This is a joint project with Coventry Safeguarding Children Board which aims, over time, to increasingly align our core procedures and guidance and to simplify arrangements for professionals who provide services to children living in both Coventry and Warwickshire. 

We would be grateful if all colleagues in your organisation are encouraged to have a look at the new material. The new procedures can be accessed here, or on the new safeguardingwarwickshire.co.uk website.
