What’s New ?
Actually, this website is new! It was launched on 5 November 2007 to provide information that will help safeguard children, and give everyone easy access to the Safeguarding Board’s guidance and procedures. It is still being developed, but soon it will provide up-to-date information about what the Board and its members are doing, and keep everyone up to date with the latest news and developments about working with children and their families.
Kent has recently completely revised all of its safeguarding procedures and practice guidance. These have been revised to ensure that they are completely compatible with the guidance provided by the Government in Working Together to Safeguard Children (2006).
