BSCB Procedures

Below are the BSCB Procedures, Policies and Practice Guidance documents, developed in accordance with the 'Working Together to Safeguard Children' National Guidance.

The BSCB is currently updating these documents (where relevant) in line with the fully revised Working Together Guidance, which was published in March 2010.

The complete Working Together to Safeguarding Children document (2010) is available to download by clicking on the link in the right hand downloads menu.
All users are asked to note that Chapter 8 (Serious Case Reviews) of the guidance was subsequently amended in June 2010. This amended chapter is also availabe to download.

Please note, the BSCB is unable to provide its Procedures and Policies as a single combined booklet. This is due to the high number of documents, and the need to ensure that each individual Procedure, Policy and Practice Guidance document remains accurate and up to date.
