The new and updated Gateshead Inter-Agency Child Protection Procedures are available below.
These procedures are now fully web-based. If you need to print these procedures out (for example, for a meeting), please only print the relevant section. If you do print a section out please be aware that this is only valid for 72 hours as they are regularly updated and you may be using out-of-date guidance if you refer back to previous versions. Always refer to the website for the most current version.
If you have any queries about the procedures or there is anything you feel needs to be added or changed then please contact louisegill@gateshead.gov.uk|
