As detailed above, the remit of the LSCB covers the 5 aims within the staying safe outcome.  Lead groups have been established for each and they have adopted existing, and developed new, local performance indicators to evidence their work.  The lead groups report their performance to the LSCB on an annual basis.  Within the local arrangements for the National Performance Indicators across the Every Child Matters outcomes, the LSCB has lead responsibility for the following staying safe performance indicators:-
