- Summary
- The Procedures reflect extensive consultation in recent years with children's services across London, to address relevant areas of practice, legislation, national service standards and guidance, the latest research and practice-based evidence for securing the best possible outcomes for children and their families. This is the 4th edition of the Procedures. It has been updated to reflect the legislation and national guidance relating to children's safeguarding introduced since 2007. In particular this 4th edition incorporates the changes set out in Working Together to Safeguard Children (2010). Further change is anticipated when the Munro Review1 to improve child protection publishes its findings in spring 2011. At that stage suggestions for change to the Procedures collected in a London-wide consultation of children's services in early 2010 will also be considered and incorporated as appropriate. the document can be downloaded here.
