The Evaluation of Arrangements for Effective Operation of the New Local Safeguarding Children Boards in England - Final Report
Summary
The report presents findings from the national evaluation of Local Safeguarding
Children Boards (LSCBs), commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools
and Families (DCSF) and Department of Health (DoH), to examine the extent to
which LSCBs have overcome the weaknesses of Area Child Protection Committees
(ACPCs), and the effectiveness of the Boards in meeting their objectives. These
are:
To co-ordinate what is done by each person or body represented on the
Board for the purposes of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
in the area of the authority and;
To ensure the effectiveness of what is done by each person or body for that
purpose.
