Local Safeguarding Children Board

The protection of children and young people has always been a core commitment of all partners who work together in Gateshead. As an Area Child Protection Committee we developed robust and secure systems to protect Gateshead children. The 2004 Children Act emphasised the importance of this work by establishing statutory Safeguarding Boards and by emphasising the need for the LSCB to be independent in its activities.

The LSCB will take responsibility for this core inter-agency child protection work whilst embracing the wider safeguarding duties established in the Children Act 2004.
