Multi Agency Procedures
Telford & Wrekin Safeguarding Children Board revised and
re-issued its procedures in September 2007
The procedures give information on how to recognise potentially
abusive situations and how to report concerns.
It details the procedures used in any enquiries, the roles of
all involved and gives an agreed framework for multi-agency
co-operation. The procedures also explain the processes involved
including the role of the child protection conference and the child
protection register.
Where abuse is suspected or reported and falls within the
definitions set out in the procedures, all the partnership agencies
have agreed to adopt these multi-agency procedures and follow the
actions set out in them.
The
Safeguarding Board Procedures can be accessed here.
Should you have concerns regarding a person over the age of
eighteen years but who you believe to be vulnerable and being
abused, please refer to the Adult Protection Policy at the bottom
of the protection of vulnerable adults
page. |
