In March 2010, the DCSF published the final version of the new Working Together to Safeguard Children document. This is the primary piece of statutory guidance that governs the work we all do in relation to safeguarding children.

Working Together to Safeguard Children provides statutory guidance on how agencies should respond, individually and collectively, to concerns in relation to the welfare of children, and also includes statutory guidance on the operation of Safeguarding Children Boards, Serious Case Reviews, Child Death Review processes and training.
