The North West Children's Safeguarding Partnership brings together the 24 Multi Agency Safeguarding Partnership Arrangements across the region to strengthen how we protect and support children, young people, and families.

Through our Learning and Support Hub—co-designed with partners, children, and families—we provide a shared space for learning, collaboration, and improvement. This focuses on a 'do it once' where we can approach.

Please see our North West Safeguarding Partnership Memorandum of Understanding for more detail. 

The North West Safeguarding Partnership Vision

To collaborate better to improve child centred, multi-agency practice; nurturing a culture of trust, accountability, and support for our children.

The hub aims too:

• Share multi-agency practice that is improving outcomes for children and families.
• Enable the system to demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of multi-agency practice
• Collaborate- facilitating spaces for collaboration at a sub-regional and regional level.
