Welcome to the Brent Local Safeguarding Children Board (Brent LSCB) website.
This website provides easy access to information for children and young people, their parents and carers, and the professionals and volunteers who work with them.
SAFEGUARDING is about keeping children safe by:
• protecting them from harm
• supporting their health and development
• making sure they grow up in a safe environment
SAFEGUARDING is about knowing when a child is at risk or needs help to deal with problems so that they can be kept safe from:
• accidental injury or death
• bullying and harassment
• crime and anti-social behaviour
• neglect, abuse or violence in the home
Brent LSCB is made up of representatives from statutory, voluntary and community organisations/services.
The Board meets regularly to agree and oversee the co-operation and effectiveness of agencies working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in Brent
The Board and its sub groups play a key role in raising awareness across the children’s partnership and within the community about safeguarding children and young people from harm.
