Policies and procedures

A core function of Salford Safeguarding Children Partnership (SSCP) is developing multi-agency procedures and policies for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

Policies and procedures provide clarity and consistency, by communicating what people need to do and why,  Policies can also communicate goals, values and the culture of the organisation with enough direction for professionals and community members to understand the roles and responsibilities we all have in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and families.
