The BWSCP (Berkshire West Safeguarding Children Partnership) does not deliver direct services but is there to make sure that the services provided in the local area effectively safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
The BWSCP and its sub groups exist to make sure that all agencies in Berkshire West meet their safeguarding requirements, share good practice and hold agencies to account when there are concerns about how their service safeguards and promotes the welfare of children.
If you wish to bring a matter to the attention of the BWSCP then please contact a member of the BWSCP Business Unit team below:
