Hounslow Safeguarding Children Partnership
The Hounslow Safeguarding Children Partnership (HSCP), has developed a new Adolescent Safeguarding Strategy, which looks at the threats that children and young people face from issues such as drugs, gang violence and criminal and sexual exploitation.
The HSCP consists of Council representatives, police officers and NHS staff. The strategy seeks to tackle the problems our children and young people face head on, with the partners working closely to provide practical action and support.
Hounslow Council's Cabinet Member for Children, Learning and Employment, Councillor Lily Bath, said: “Our Adolescent Safeguarding Strategy reflects the challenging landscape young people can face in Hounslow and across London. This shared expertise and intelligence improves the chances of important interventions that can get young lives back on track.”
The Council's Director of Children's Services, Steven Forbes explains more about the strategy in a special blog post. Click the button below to read it.
