The Board

Children can only be safeguarded properly if the key agencies work effectively together. Devon Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB) is designed to help ensure that this happens.

The core membership of the Safeguarding Children Boards is set out in the Children Act 2004 and includes representatives from local authority’s, health, police and others including the voluntary sector. The objective of the Board is to coordinate and to ensure the effectiveness of their member agencies in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children living in Devon.

This page will provide you information about the DSCB, minutes of recent DSCB meetings and to the South West Child Protection procedures.
