It is our business to keep children safe.

Every Local Authority in the country has to have a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Agreement (MASA) in partnership with the Police and Health. In Norfolk, the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) is led by the 3 statutory partners who work together with other local agencies including the voluntary sector to make sure that children are protected from harm and that their welfare is promoted. The NSCP has robust independent scrutiny arrangements to ensure that people working with children carry out their safeguarding responsibilities as required by the law.

Our work is underpinned by the government document Working Together

People Working With Children

There is a wide range of professionals who have a duty to keep children safe from harm, protect their welfare and support them to achieve their potential. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility, so it is important that professionals have the knowledge and experience to fulfil their duties. The NSCP provides advice and guidance to frontline staff on multi-agency safeguarding procedures.

Parents, Carers & The Community

Parents want to do their best for children but all families go through hard times at some point, so need to know where to go for help. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility so parents and carers are not on their own but part of a community. The NSCP Business unit provides advice and guidance to families, carers and the community on where to go for help.

Children & Young People

Children and Young People are at the heart of everything we do; it is important that they feel safe wherever they are in Norfolk. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility and children need to know that the adults in their lives are there to help them feel safe. The NSCP provides advice and guidance for children as well as information about what they can expect from the people who come into contact with them.

NSCP Priorities

The NSCP will be setting priorities as the MASA plan is embedded. The previous Local Safeguarding Children Board priorities i.e. neglect and child sexual abuse have been the focus of considerable work in the past three years. Looking ahead, the new arrangements will identify priorities for 2020-23 using data and performance intelligence. There will be a continued focus on the consistency and quality of front-line practice and hearing the voice of the child.

Signs of Safety

Signs of Safety is a social care philosophy which encourages much more direct work with families, which Norfolk has been putting in place since Autumn 2014. This exciting and innovative approach underpins Norfolk’s principles of working i.e. using a strength based, solution focused model. At the heart of this approach is working with families in an honest, straightforward and respectful way. For more information see the Signs of Safety Policy Statement.
