Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Children's Board - website link
In 2006, the Children Act 2004 placed a requirement on the Local Authority, along with its statutory partners, to set up a Local Safeguarding Children Board.
The Dorset Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB) was therefore set up in order to make sure that key agencies work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in Dorset.
As a statutory Board, the DSCB has a strong membership of key partner agencies who all come together to ensure that we:
- protect children from maltreatment
- prevent impairment of children’s health or development
- ensure that children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- undertake that role so as to enable those children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully
- promote a safe environment free from violence.

Parent Info website link
'Parent Info' provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience. In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same. The aim is to help parents help their children be discriminating, web-literate and resilient.
