City and Hackney Safeguarding Children Partnership
Description
The City and Hackney Safeguarding Children Partnership (CHSCP) aims to protect children from abuse and neglect by agreeing how local services and professional groups should co-operate to safeguard them.
In practice, this means that children are seen, heard and helped:
Seen; in the context of their lives at home, the adults involved in their lives 2 , friendship circles, health, education, and public spaces (both off-line and on-line).
Heard; by professionals taking time to hear what children and young people are saying – putting themselves in their shoes and thinking about what their life might truly be like.
Helped; by professionals remaining curious and by implementing timely, effective, and imaginative solutions that help make children and young people safer.
A multi-agency forum, we work to:
- Define and promote best practice within and between partner agencies
- Ensure that children involved with our services are safe, supported and experience positive outcomes
- Ensure vulnerable children have access to universal, targeted and specialist health, education and social care services
- Ensure that the rich ethnic and religious diversity of our borough's children is cherished and promoted
