The North Somerset Safeguarding
Children Board (NSSCB) works to safeguard and promote
local child welfare across the
district.
It works with local organisations to ensure
every local child and young person grows up free from abuse or
neglect.
Our children's services alongside those in the
NHS and
police also have a
job to do when children are mistreated.
However, we all need to think as
broadly as possible about safeguarding children as they are among
the most vulnerable members of our society.
Parents have the greatest responsibility but
so do other family members, friends and neighbours - especially
when parents have problems.
As a result, we all must be aware of the need to
safeguard children and look out for their
safety.
