Welcome to Lambeth Safeguarding Children Board
Lambeth Safeguarding Children Board is the statutory body responsible for coordinating and monitoring the effectiveness of multi agency safeguarding work for children in Lambeth. It brings together representatives of each of the main agencies and professionals responsible for helping to protect children from abuse, neglect and harm.
Under Section 11 of the Children Act 2004 all statutory agencies have a duty to co-operate with the Local Safeguarding Children´s Board to promote the safeguarding of children in their area.
Safeguarding children is everyone´s responsibility, and all workers and professionals have a role to play, even if working with children is not their main area of responsibility.

On 18th June up to 100 key members of staff across Lambeth attended the launch of the Lambeth Mental Health Protocol, which sets out new ways of joint working between Adults and Children’s services. Heide Lloyd, guest speaker, gave a moving account of how her children had been treated during her episode of mental illness ten years ago, which underlined the very real impact joint work can have on families, both children and adults.
A diverse audience was present from social care, adults services, mental health services, the PCT, Lambeth Acute Trusts, the voluntary sector and many others. As stated at the launch, a programme of joint training for staff to improve skills, knowledge and understanding in this critical area is being rolled out later this year.
