Information for Professionals

WSCB has developed Child Protection Procedures and Inter-Agency Joint Working Protocols to guide practitioners to safeguard children and young people.

They clarify the expectations placed on partner agencies as to how they, and their respective staff, will conduct their roles and responsibilities relating to protecting, safeguarding and promoting the welfare and development of all children and young people within the Wigan Borough, through working together.

Use the navigation on the left of the website to access the relevant Procedure or Inter-Agency Joint Working Protocol.
