The Local Safeguarding Board (LSCB) is a statutory requirement set out in the Children Act 2004 which gives duties to ensure that all agencies work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

The main responsibilities of the LSCB as set out in section 14 of the Children Act 2004 are to co-ordinate and quality assure the safeguarding children activities of member agencies.

Individual agencies have a responsibility to ensure that their staff are competent and confident in carrying out their responsibilities for safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare. The development of this LSCB training programme reflect the LSCB’s commitment to supporting this responsibility with the aim of making Bexley a safer place for children and young people to live and thrive. LSCB training is available to anyone working with or volunteering to work with children and young people in Bexley with training reflecting the different levels of responsibility.

Both single agency and interagency training will be delivered. Single agency training will be delivered by trainers to staff or volunteers working within the same agency. LSCB training is delivered by a combination of trainers from different agencies who will have completed the training the trainers’ course, the LSCB training officer or other specialist trainers.
