Welcome to the Stockport Local Safeguarding Children Board website. I hope you will find it informative and useful.
The Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) has replaced the Area Child Protection Committee (ACPC) and has an increased range of responsibility in addition to increased authority.
The remit of the ACPC was primarily the protection of vulnerable children. The remit of the LSCB retains that role as core business, but in addition has a responsibility for the prevention of harm and promotion of welfare for all children.
By creating a new website we aim to make up to date information accessible, to assist individuals and agencies with their safeguarding responsibilities. This will include quick links to:
- Policies and procedures;
- Serious Case Review Executive Reports;
- and other useful information.
Our vision in Stockport is to provide the very best for all children and young people by creating an accessible ‘one-service' culture both within the Council and with our partners. We hope that the information on the site will be useful for Safeguarding Professionals.
We are passionate about making a difference to children's lives. We are ambitious for all children and young people, and we are committed to reducing inequalities.
