On 1st August 2019 a new Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Children Partnership took over statutory responsibility for leadership and multi-agency co-ordination of “arrangements to work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.”
Accountability for the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Children Partnership rests with Dorset Police, Dorset CCG, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council and Dorset Council with a “shared and equal duty” to engage with all other “relevant agencies” working with children and young people to ensure a coherent approach to the wider, local safeguarding system. Their website is https://pdscp.co.uk/
