Child Protection Standards Updated (2019)

Sefton LSCB has developed Child Protection (CP) Standards which are about the roles and responsibilities of practitioners who are involved in the Child Protection process.

Organisations committed to child protection must aim to achieve the highest level of protection for children with whom they come into contact and to work towards achieving the standards.

The CP Standards have been developed by Sefton LSCB Policy and Procedures Sub-Group and the Sefton Safeguarding Children Review & Quality Assurance Unit.

We recognise that all organisations coming into contact with children have a fundamental duty of care towards them, and we acknowledge our responsibilities to keep children safe.
