Objectives for 2006/07

The objectives for 2006/07 will be to build upon the achievements of previous years in responding to the findings and recommendations of the Climbie Inquiry Reports, the Every Child Matters Agenda and the Implementation of The Children Act 2004, to establish an effective, dynamic and active Local Safeguarding Children Board for Bath and North East Somerset. A Board that will broaden its scope and remit and maintain a clear focus on its responsibility to safeguard children. A Board that will be informed by the views and active participation of children, young people, parents and carers. A Board that will hold its members to account for their contributions to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. A Board that will be accountable for its role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Within the Work Programme for 1006/07 the LSCB has made provision for establishing and reviewing its effectiveness; for developing and creating an effective workforce; and for progressing the 5 aims of the Staying Safe outcome. This Work Programme is central, and will contribute to the Implementation of the Children and Young People’s Plan 2006-09. The Work Programme is outcome focused. It is underpinned by the participation of children, young people and their families.
