The local safeguarding board replaces the area child protection committee. This statutory board has a remit which covers:

• The protection of children and young people against abuse and neglect
• The national target of safeguarding from preventable injury
• The analysis of child deaths or serious injuries from any cause
• Monitoring, creating and maintaining safe environments for all of our children and young people
