Local Safeguarding Children Board

The Cheshire East Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) is the key statutory mechanism for agreeing how the relevant organisations in each local area will cooperate to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in Cheshire East and for ensuring the effectiveness of what they do. Our aim is to work together so that children in Cheshire East can be safe from abuse or harm at home and within our community. This site provides information for the public, children, parents, carers and professionals.
