Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements

Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements are collaborative systems where different organizations—like schools, healthcare providers, social services, and law enforcement—work together to protect children and vulnerable adults. They share information, coordinate efforts, and develop strategies to identify, prevent, and respond to abuse, neglect, or harm. The goal is to ensure a unified approach that balances different expertise and resources, making safeguarding more effective and comprehensive. These arrangements ensure that everyone involved understands their roles and works jointly to promote safety, well-being, and timely intervention when needed.
