Welcome to the Nottingham City Safeguarding Children Board website. We hope that professionals, young people, parents and carers find the guidance on these pages helpful. The site also offers professionals guidance on local procedures and provides access to training. We hope to develop the site over time to communicate with everybody who has an interest in keeping the children of Nottingham City safe. We value participation and consultation, your feedback helps us to improve outcomes in local communities.

Mission Statement

"We will ensure that safeguarding practice, strategic planning and commissioning across all partner agencies continuously improves as a result of NCSCB activity, with the aim of improving outcomes for children, young people and families."

The NCSCB Strategic Objectives underpinning this mission statement are:

1. To ensure effective coordination of multi agency safeguarding services for children and young people and deliver a robust governance system for the NCSCB that is able to respond to local and national developments in safeguarding as required

2. To continually improve multi agency work to safeguard and protect children and young people and drive excellence in the system

3. To monitor the development of early help for children, young people and families and quality assure the effectiveness of this

4. To embed a learning system within the NCSCB and quality assure these within partner agencies

It was with sadness that the Board received the resignation of Margaret McGlade as Independent Chair in August 2011, and then to hear of her death in October 2011.

Margaret made an outstanding contribution to the development of the work of the Board during challenging times, and will be greatly missed.

A new independent chair, Paul Burnett, has been appointed on an interim basis until the end of March 2012, by which time a review of the Adults and Childrens Safeguarding Boards will have been undertaken.
