Issue details
Transition to new children’s safeguarding arrangements
Executive Summary
This paper summarises proposed changes to children’s
safeguarding arrangements in line with new legislation under the
Children and Social Work Act 2017 and subsequent revision to
Working Together to Safeguard Children, 2018.
The report is submitted as a collaborative paper between the three
statutory partners: Local Authority, CCG and Police and follows
consultation with existing LSCB members. It seeks to set out the
governance, strategic aims, scrutiny and structure that will
satisfy statutory requirements, delivering the best possible
safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
Significant timescales have been set out by the DfE. Details of new
arrangements must be submitted to them for QA no later than 29th
June 2019 and those arrangements should then be live no more than 3
months later.
Under the drive to increase awareness and ensure that safeguarding
children is ‘everyone’s responsibility’, this
paper will impact on all residents and professionals in Brighton
and Hove. There will be some important changes for professionals
and existing partners who are involved in safeguarding, but of
greatest significance is the impact this will have on our children
and young people.
