Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCBs)
The children Act 2004 required each local authority throughout England and Wales to establish LSCBs. The Act places specific obligations on a range of agencies to co-operate in the operation of LSCBs in ensuring the safeguarding and promotion of children's welfare and wellbeing by working together in partnership. The work of LSCBs is part of the wider context of Children's Trust arrangements that aim to improve the overall wellbeing of all children in the local area as defined in the Government's "Every Child Matters" agenda:
Be healthy
Staying safe
Enjoy and achieve
Make a positive contribution
Achieve economic well being.
