Agenda item

The Chair of the Barnsley Safeguarding Children Partnership highlighted the work which had taken place in responding to the Working Together 2018 report which sought to change the arrangements that were required locally to ensure that agencies worked together in partnership to keep children and young people safe.  It was noted in particular how the Barnsley Local Safeguarding Children Board would transition to become the Barnsley Safeguarding Children Partnership (BSCP) with effect from 1^st April 2019.

The Board acknowledged the background to the transition and welcomed the proposals set out in the Plan.  Whilst no longer a statutory duty, the Board acknowledged that national guidance remained in place.

RESOLVED that the Health and Wellbeing Board welcome the Plan and looked forward to maintaining its close working relationship with the newly created Barnsley Safeguarding Children Partnership.
