The Knowsley Safeguarding Children Board is the statutory organisation responsible for agreeing how services and agencies work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in Knowsley.  We make sure that arrangements work effectively in bringing about better outcomes for all children.

 

Our members include organisations and individuals from the statutory, voluntary, community and faith sectors. We see partnership working as a key principle, both in child protection work with families and in the development of quality links between all agencies involved in the process.

 

We support agencies and organisations with the development and review of safeguarding policies and procedures and practice, as well as providing inter agency training. We also scrutinise the work undertaken by agencies and organisations to safeguard children.

 

We provide information and advice on safeguarding for professionals, parents and carers and children and young people. These web pages provide useful information which will help children, young people, their families and professionals to make sure safeguarding is everyone's business.

 

Safeguarding children is the responsibility of everyone in the community.  If you are worried a child might be being abused don't keep it to yourself.  Call one of these numbers and share your concerns. Doing nothing does not protect children.
