Local Safeguarding Children Board Meetings
The Local Safeguarding Children Board meets in March, June,
September and December. The Board is chaired by the Assistant
Director of Children’s Service. The Board will hold a
Stakeholders Forum and a Development Day during 2007/08 to review
the work of the LSCB and to develop the next Business Plan for
services in Bath and North East Somerset.
The Board has built upon the sub groups of the Area Child
Protection Committee to establish sub groups of the LSCB with a
focus upon staff training (Training Management Group) and upon
quality assurance, policy and procedures (The Safeguarding Children
Sub-Committee). The Training Management Group meets
bi-monthly and is chaired by the Primary Care Trust
representative. The Safeguarding Children Sub Committee meets
monthly and is chaired by the Custodian of the Child Protection
Register. Lead Groups have been established for each of the aims of
the Staying Safe outcome and they report to the LSCB, as
follows:-
- The Safeguarding Children Sub Committee
- Avonsafe
- The Anti-Bullying Strategy Group
- The Youth Offending Team Steering Group
- The Looked After Children Sub Committee
Membership of the LSCB
The core members of the LSCB are those who are designated as
statutory members under Section 13(3) of The Children Act
2004. Further, a national voluntary organisation with
experience in this area of work (Barnardos) is represented, and a
designated doctor and designated nurse will provide appropriate
expertise and advice to the Board. The NSPCC are being
invited to join the Board in June 2007. Associate Members
have been established to ensure robust links with key
stakeholders. The LSCB will also secure the involvement in
its work of Faith Groups, State and Independent Schools, Further
Education Colleges, Children’s Centres, GP’s, Independent Health
Care Organisations, The Partnership Against Domestic Violence and
Abuse, the Multi-agency Public Protection Arrangements , Housing,
Culture and Leisure Services, Housing Providers, Drug Action Team,
and representatives of children, young people and parents via
existing networks and forums, including the Annual Stakeholders
Forum.

provided with a written statement of their roles and
responsibilities and their organisation has confirmed that they are
able to:
- Speak for their organisation with authority
- Commit their organisation on policy and practice matters
- Hold their organisation to account (in matters of safeguarding
children)
A written constitution and terms of reference have been
