Local Safeguarding Children Boards

Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) are committees in the UK that coordinate efforts to protect children and ensure their well-being. Composed of representatives from various organizations, including social services, health authorities, and law enforcement, LSCBs focus on preventing child abuse and neglect. They oversee local safeguarding practices, provide training, and promote information sharing to ensure that all professionals working with children can effectively respond to concerns. The ultimate goal is to create a safe environment for children to thrive, by fostering collaboration and improving the response to safeguarding issues within the community.
