Sefton SCP - Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements

Introduction

The Children and Social Work Act 2017 replaced Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) with new local safeguarding arrangements, led by the three named statutory safeguarding partners Local Authority; Police and Integrated Care Boards (Health) operating in the Sefton area.  The three partners formed Sefton Safeguarding Children Partnership (SSCP) as the statutory body for the new arrangements.

The publication of Working Together to Safeguarding Children 2023, required local arrangements to be updated in light of national reforms. Sefton SCP's updated arrangements are published in the document below.
