Community partnership project

The Community Partnership Project was a London Safeguarding Children Board (the London Board) action and audit project, jointly managed with eight London boroughs and funded by the London Board, the Department for Education and Skills, the Home Office and the London boroughs. The project commenced on 1st July 2006 and ended on 30th June 2007. Please follow the link below to download the final project report and a training powerpoint for LSCBs:

The aim of the project was to improve collaborative mechanisms for the safeguarding of London’s children, by gathering and sharing information and promoting improvement in practice between statutory bodies, local minority ethnic communities and faith groups.

The project forms part of the ongoing safeguarding children response by London boroughs, police and health services and central government to the death of Victoria Climbie and the more recent highly publicised cases of abuse involving custom and ritual in London.

The London Board and London boroughs recognise and respect the very wide range of difference which exists both within and between the cultures of London’s communities. The project acknowledges and values the positive position London communities have taken and continue to take in their willingness to protect children.
