Children can only be safeguarded properly if the key agencies work effectively together. Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) are designed to help ensure that this happens. They will put the current Area Child Protection Committees (ACPCs) on a statutory footing.
The core membership of LSCBs is set out in the Children Act 2004, and includes local authorities, health bodies, the police and others. The objective of LSCBs is to coordinate and to ensure the effectiveness of their member agencies in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children living in their area.
Guidance on LSCBs has been published, covering their role and operation, including their relationship to other Children's Trust Arrangements on the Every Child Matters website.
The statutory regulations, which came into force on 1 April 2006, are available from the OPSI website.
