Purpose of Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board
The agencies and organisations represented on the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) share a statutory commitment under the Children Act 2004 to co-operate and work together to safeguard and promote the well-being of children.
It is each member's responsibility and duty to contribute to steering the strategic direction of LSCB and to ensure implementation of both Working Together Guidance and Standard 5 of the National Service Framework.
LSCB is responsible for co-ordinating local agencies' arrangements and has a collective responsibility for ensuring that all agencies working with children in Lincolnshire undertake their safeguarding duties and responsibilities:
-
To focus agency activity on delivering improved outcomes for children in the priorities outlined in the Children & Young People's Plan.
-
To ensure the delivery of safeguarding arrangements through the implementation of the LSCB Business Plan.
