Safeguarding Children Week June 2023

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Partnership is holding its fourth annual Safeguarding Children Awareness Week 12 – 18 June 2023.

Safeguarding really is ‘everyone’s business’ and it is a responsibility we all share here in Rochdale.

The principle focus of the week will be on continuing to raise awareness of child neglect.

Child neglect is a key priority for us all in Rochdale; it is one of the main reasons for a child or young person being on a Child Protection Plan in the borough and the effects of neglect on children and young people can be devastating.

We all have a duty to familiarise ourselves with key information and guidance so that we can all safeguard children and young people. This year we have updated many of our neglect resources, including the strategy and toolkit.
