Children’s Procedures

All multi-agency children’s safeguarding procedures published by the Wirral safeguarding Children Board (WSCB) are included in our online procedures manual which can be accessed here:

http://wirrallscb.proceduresonline.com

The procedures manual is updated twice a year with new procedures (in January and July) and it is individual agencies and professionals responsibilities to ensure they know how to access the procedures and are familiar with the content.

New procedures published by the WSCB between the updates can be found here: https://www.wirralsafeguarding.co.uk/procedures/new-procedures. New procedures will be added to the procedures manual at the next available update.
