What is the Safeguarding Children Board?
What does it do?
It is made up of a group of representatives from each of the services in Telford & Wrekin which have a responsibility towards children and young people; i.e. those under 18.
The Board encourages and supports all of the services to work together to try to make sure that children and young people in the Telford & Wrekin Borough are healthy and safe and can grow up successfully.
Where some children or young people have extra needs or are more vulnerable than others, it asks the services to look more closely at those needs and to try to do something to meet them.
The Board takes a special interest in children or young people who might be harmed by things happening in their family, such as family members hurting each other or using illegal drugs; and also in those children who are being harmed by people from outside of their family.
