The ten Local Safeguarding Boards for Children
and the ten local Safeguarding Boards for Adults will receive a
payment as set out in the schedule below. Total value
£351,635. This increased allocation includes an inflationary
uplift of 2.6%.
The work of the Safeguarding Boards will support GMP through the
Strategic Vulnerability Board and at a local level in the areas
of:
• Support the delivery of the GMP Child Centred Policing
Strategy
• Shared Data Insights - MFH data for children and young
people /care homes. We currently don’t have the specific
details for children and young people's homes between 16 and 18 and
would value more data from partners.
• Shared Training through safeguarding boards with local
practitioners. This will upskill police officers and neighbourhood
teams at a place level.
• SCR reviews - learning and continual improvement.
In view of this the Deputy Mayor has agreed to make a 12-month
payment to Safeguarding Boards for the period April 2025–
March 2026.
