Multi-agency safeguarding arrangements

Avon and Somerset Police now has the responsibility to deliver statutory duties to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of children, as required by Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018.

As core safeguarding partners, we are committed to the transformational journey to improve local safeguarding arrangements and ensure we improve outcomes for our most vulnerable children, families and communities.
