Bolton Safeguarding Children
From April 2006, all local authorities were required to establish Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCB). LSCBs have a legal duty to make sure that keeping children safe and protecting them from harm is a priority for everyone.
Bolton Safeguarding, Health and Well-being Board is responsible for co-ordinating local arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children across the town.
Bolton's Board brings together key organisations that work with children and families in the borough including:
- Greater Manchester Police
- Greater Manchester Probation
- Bolton Primary Care Trust
- Royal Bolton Hospital
- Bolton Council
- School Representatives (Primary, Secondary and Special Educational Needs)
- Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS)
- Faith & Community Sector Representatives
