New Inter-Agency Child Protection Procedures
Welcome
to the webpage for the new Inter-Agency Child Protection Procedures for
Safeguarding Children in Worcestershire
The new procedures are being introduced in response to Working Together to
Safeguard Children October 2006. They reflect the most up-to-date
legislation, accepted best practice and comply with the latest government
guidance including Every Child Matters, the Children Act 2004, the Bichard
Enquiry, the Laming Report 2003 and the Sexual Offences Act 2003
These
electronic procedures Manual has been created as part of a jointly
commissioned with Tri-X Childcare by Worcestershire, Shropshire
and Herefordshire Safeguarding Children Boards.
Worcestershire
Safeguarding Children Board has been fully involved in the sharing of
expertise and best practice across the authorities. An extensive
consultation with practitioners has also taken place which has resulted in
a set of Child Protection Procedures that will ensure consistent practice
and terminology across the region and that also cover the boundaries for
West Mercia Police and the National Offender Management Service in the
region.

Guidance can be viewed by click here.
