By offering a tailored approach to child protective challenges, the service works alongside organisations and groups to reinforce good practice and embed safeguarding culture within service delivery.  

Over the last 12 months the project has delivered workshops and training courses on issues such as delivering safe virtual services, grooming and radicalisation awareness and abuses linked to faith, culture and beliefs.  

The Community Safeguarding Partnership Service aims to:

• Inform our communities in Camden of any updates / changes to UK laws on child protection and safeguarding.
• Raise awareness of the importance of reporting abuses and child protection concerns.
• Embed safeguarding culture into the fabric of service delivery.
• To support organisations and groups in the production of effective child protection policy and procedures.
• Communicate and enable those living in close-knit faith communities to seek professional and confidential advice and support.
• Facilitate partnerships with statutory agencies and local organisations to increase child safety measures.
• Provide training, advice and support to supplementary and weekend schools, ethnic minority groups / organisations, faith communities and those delivering services to marginalised communities.
• Bridge the gaps in communication between statutory services and the communities they serve, in a bid to end harmful practises against children.

How the service works:

This is a long-term project which aims to continue improving child safety and ensure that safeguarding issues are adequately addressed in the planning and delivery of local services. 

• If you are an organisation, group or start-up with aims to deliver services to under 18’s in Camden, we can help.
• We provide training, support, information and resources to help you deliver safe and secure services to children and young people.
• Through collaboration, partnerships and information sharing, the project connects you to other networks in the borough to strengthen and grow your organisation.
