About us
We bring together representatives of each of the main agencies responsible for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and help to protect them from abuse and neglect. We are responsible for developing, monitoring and reviewing safeguarding policies, procedures and practice within Peterborough and for ensuring interagency training is provided for people across the city that work with children.
Vision Statement:
Our vision is to safeguard and protect all the children of Peterborough.
We will do this by monitoring the performance of the Children's Trust partners as this relates to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We will act as both adviser of good practice and as a critical friend.
We will work together with the Children's Trust to improve outcomes for children and young people.
Overarching Strategic Objective
