The Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB) is a multi agency forum which ensures that children and young people throughout Derbyshire are kept safe and have their needs met.
The main board has senior representation from the key statutory agencies (Health, Police, Children & Younger Adults, Connexions, Youth Offending Service, CAFCASS, District Councils).
The board meets bi-monthly and takes a strategic overview on safeguarding children.
The Safeguarding Children Partnership Group is a practice based forum that meets three times a year to discuss and share information about keeping Derbyshire children safe.
Safeguarding Children Board sub-committees meet regularly to look at specific areas of the safeguarding children agenda.
District Safeguarding Children Management Teams are responsible for many aspects of keeping children safe including disseminating information, raising public awareness and providing training within their area.
