Safeguarding Boards

Safeguarding Boards are organized groups in a community that work together to protect vulnerable individuals, especially children and adults at risk of abuse or neglect. They consist of various local agencies, such as social services, police, and health organizations, that collaborate to share information, develop policies, and improve practices to ensure safety and well-being. Their primary goal is to prevent harm and promote welfare by coordinating efforts, training professionals, and responding effectively to incidents. By working together, they aim to create a safer environment for everyone.
