Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards (LSCBs) are agencies designed to ensure the key agencies work effectively together. They put the former Area Child Protection Committees (ACPCs) on a statutory footing. The core membership is set out in the Children Act 2004, and includes Local Authorities, health bodies, the police and others. The objective of LSCBs is to co-ordinate and to ensure the effectiveness of their member agencies in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. It must be said that the majority of their work is in heath and education.
