2008 Annual Conference 'Child Sexual Abuse: Concerns and Responses'
This years BSCB conference was held on 14th October at Court Garden House in Marlow. Feedback following this event was very positive, with delegates confirming that it had raised awareness of the issues and emphasised the need for multi agency working in safeguarding children.

Outcomes from this conference and the resulting actions for the BSCB will be reviewed shortly.

On 12th March 2008, the Policy and Procedures sub committee held a briefing event entitled 'New Beginnings in Child Protection - OUT with the Register and IN with the Plan'.
The event informed managers and designated / named child protection officers about the changes which would occur when the Child Protection Register ceased on 1st April 2008 ( in accordance with Government Guidance - Working Together to Safeguarding Children 2006 ) and children were, instead, subject to a Child Protection Plan.
