This Child Protection Policy and Procedures handbook has been agreed and endorsed by the Chair of Stockport Local Safeguarding Children Board, and by the Chief Officers of its constituent agencies.
The handbook sets out how all the agencies and professionals should work together and in partnership with parents to promote the welfare of children in Stockport and safeguard them from abuse and neglect. There is a need for co-operation between the different agencies.
The handbook is addressed to all those who work in Social Care, Education, Health Services, the Police, the Probation Service, CAFCASS and others whose work brings them into contact with children and families. It is relevant to those working in the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors.
