About Us
The Newcastle Safeguarding Partnership is responsible for coordinating and ensuring the effectiveness of safeguarding arrangements across Newcastle
We are led by the three statutory safeguarding partners (Childrens Services, Police and Health) and coordinated by the business manager. Our work is supported by many local organisations that work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, young people and their families in Newcastle.
What is the NSCP?
The Newcastle Safeguarding Children’s Partnership is a multi-agency partnership, with responsibility for safeguarding children and young people throughout the city.
Leadership is provided by three statutory partners, Newcastle City Council, Northumbria Police, and North East North Cumbria Integrated Care Board. Their work is coordinated by an Independent Chair.
The NSCP works closely with other relevant groups to ensure a coordinated, city wide, approach to a range of issues which cross the boundaries of age, and are therefore not the specific remit of any one particular group. These include Safe Newcastle and the Newcastle Safeguarding Adults Board.
The Newcastle Promise Board
Newcastle Promise Board is a citywide partnership lead by Head Teachers to shape our approach to sector-led improvement.
Newcastle Promise Board is a formal partnership to enable schools to have a unified voice and to support a sector led school system.
