Welcome

to the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Local Safeguarding Children Board website.  The board is an inter-agency forum for agreeing how different services and professional groups should co-operate to safeguard children in their local area, and for making sure that arrangements work effectively for bringing about good outcomes for children.

The Summer 2009 newsletter is now available and can be accessed on this website. Copies have been distributed and can be sent to you if you contact the LSCB office on 0116 260 0004.

Agencies and individuals can be kept up to date with, for example, recent changes in key personnel and with new developments.
