Are you worried about a child?
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.
