Procedures

The Isle of Wight Safeguarding Children Partnership works closely with the Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton (HIPS) Safeguarding Children Partnerships to develop policies and procedures that are to be used by practitioners across the whole of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The website has been developed to provide a set of chapters which comply with Working Together to Safeguard Children. The content is intended to be accessible to a wide range of staff from organisations that have responsibilities to identify children with unmet needs and/or at risk of abuse, and to keep them safe.

Safeguarding Children Week

In October 2023 the Isle of Wight LSCP and Hampshire LSCP held the inaugural Safeguarding Children Week, which was developed as an opportunity to bring together agencies and organisations across Hampshire and the Island to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. The aim of the week was to enable all individuals working with children and families to feel confident in identifying the signs of abuse and neglect and to know how to record and respond to safeguarding concerns.

Monday: Supporting community and voluntary organisations
