What we do and who we are
The Board is made up of a group of people from different organisations including the police, the city council, the health service, the probation service, connexions and voluntary organisations like the NSPCC.
We focus on all areas of keeping children and young people safe in Coventry; this includes ensuring that the most vulnerable like those that have been abused or neglected in anyway are protected.
The Board are also working on ways to prevent children being harmed, for example trying to spread the message that safeguarding children is everybody's business, where early concerns about a child or young person can be addressed before problems escalate. This includes supporting and assisting families in safe and effective care for their children.
Another important function of the Board is coordinate and ensure that each organisation is effective in its role to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. Part of this is to agree how service and organisations will co-operate to safeguard children and young people in Coventry.
The structure of the Safeguarding Children Board can be seen in the document attached.
