Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs)

Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) are partnerships in the UK that bring together various organizations, such as local authorities, police, and health services, to ensure the protection and welfare of children. Their main role is to coordinate efforts to safeguard children and to ensure that services work effectively to prevent harm. LSCBs are responsible for reviewing cases of abuse or neglect, providing training, and promoting best practices among professionals. They aim to create a safer environment for children by improving how agencies work together to identify and respond to risks.
