Calderdale Safeguarding Children Board - Safeguarding children - everyone's responsibility

Policies & Procedures

The West Yorkshire Consortium Safeguarding Procedures Manual became operational from 2 July 2007. They replaced in their entirety the former Calderdale Area Child Protection Committee (ACPC) child protection procedures which were issued to all users in hard copy in 2001 with annual updates.

The CSCB decided that there will be no hard copies produced and all users are directed to the website for familiarisation and practice in navigation of the procedures.

The Safeguarding Procedures have been developed by a consortium of the Calderdale, Leeds, Wakefield, and Kirklees Local Safeguarding Children Boards known as the West Yorkshire Safeguarding Consortium. They are a common set of procedures which also include information specific to each LSCB, including the CSCB. They have been written by a specially commissioned company, Tri-X, who have previous experience in developing web-based procedures for LSCB’s and Children’s Social Care.

The Safeguarding Procedures are updated twice a year.
