Outside body

Leeds Safeguarding Board (now Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP)) is independently chaired and consists of three key agencies who collectively hold statutory responsibilities for safeguarding; the Local Authority (through Children and Families), Health (through NHS Leeds CCG Partnership) and West Yorkshire Police.

The LSCP’s objectives are to:

• Co-ordinate local work undertaken by all agencies and individuals to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people
• Ensure the effectiveness of that work.
