hscp learning & development
Perth
The HSCP is made up of statutory and voluntary partners, representatives from
Health, Children’s Services, Police, Probation, the Community and Voluntary
Sector as well as Lay Members. Our main role is to coordinate what is done
locally to protect and promote the welfare of children and young people in the
city and to monitor the effectiveness of those arrangements to ensure better
outcomes for children and young people. Safeguarding children is everybody’s
responsibility and so our purpose is to make sure that all children and young
people in our city are protected from abuse and neglect. Children can only be
safeguarded from harm if agencies work well together, follow procedures and
guidance based on best practice and are well informed and trained. In addition
we want to make sure parents, children and young people and professionals have
easy access to information about a broad range of child safety issues. We hope
that this website is useful to anyone who wants information about the
Partnership’s work and how to keep children and young people safe from harm.
