Berkshire West Safeguarding Children Partnership Priorities

Our shared priorities

Quality Assurance, scrutiny and challenge are at different stages of development across Berkshire West. Designing and implementing new Independent Scrutiny arrangements for each Berkshire West Locality, will be the most important and first priority for Berkshire West Safeguarding Arrangement. It is an expectation that these arrangements will seek to understand the lived experience of local children and young people, and the practice learning from frontline staff and volunteers, specifically but not exclusively on the following areas of practice and policy:

• Priority 1 - Emerging Safeguarding risks to young people in today’s society
• Priority 2 - Intervening earlier to safeguard effectively
• Priority 3 - Engagement of Children, Families and Practitioners
• Priority 4 - Effectiveness of the new Partnership arrangements

These priorities inform the Berkshire West Safeguarding Children Partnership Business Plan which can be found at the below link:
