Executive

The DSCB Executive is responsible for co-ordinating the business plan and the work of the subgroups that drive the safeguarding agenda on behalf of the Board.  The group brings together the chairs of the subgroups and other key agencies to ensure multi-agency safeguarding communication at an operational and strategic level is maintained.

Ensuring that all the subgroups work effectively and achieve their objectives is a crucial function of the Executive.  Broadly speaking, a number of key priorities exist:

  • Ensuring that the work of the DSCB and cross-agency responsibility and accountability for safeguarding children & young people, is clearly understood and actions are consistently implemented.
  • Being responsive to local and national change, evidencing improvement to safeguarding systems, structures, policies, practice and outcomes for children and young people through an agreed performance management framework.
  • Ensuring that the lessons learned from Serious Case Reviews and Child Death Reviews are consistently embedded and evidenced in changes to practice, policies and safeguarding systems across all involved agencies.
