LSCB Practice Guidance

The Practice Guidance has been agreed by the three local authorities, Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland as a framework for joint agency working in child protection.  They reflect relevant legislation, current guidance from central government and lessons from research.  Staff that are or may be involved in protection of children need to have a working knowledge of these documents and to refer to relevant sections as needed.
