Working Together to Safeguard the Children and Young People of Liverpool
Section 10 of the Children Act 2004 requires each local authority to make arrangements to promote co-operation between the authority, each of the authority’s relevant partners, and such other persons or bodies who exercise functions or are engaged in activities in relation to children in the local authority’s area, as the authority considers appropriate.
The Government's Statutory Guidance, Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) defines safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children as:
- Protecting children from maltreatment;
- Preventing impairment of children's health or development;
- Ensuring that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and
- Taking action to enable all children to have the best life chances;
- Undertaking that role so as to enable those children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully.
