The Leicester Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) brings together all the main organisations who work with children and families in Leicester, with the aim of ensuring that they work together effectively to keep children and young people safe.
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children requires effective co-ordination. The Children Act 2004 required each local authority to establish a local Safeguarding Children Board by 1 April 2006. Safeguarding Children Boards are the key statutory mechanisms for agreeing how the relevant organisations in each local area will co-operate to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in that locality, and for ensuring the effectiveness of what they do.
