Responding to Lord Laming’s recommendation for further guidance on effective practice for Local Safeguarding Children Boards: A summary outline for consultation and a call for evidence

"Lord Laming published 'The Protection of Children in England: A Progress Report' on 12 March 2009. In his report Lord Laming recommended that “The Department for Children, Schools and Families must provide further guidance to Local Safeguarding Children Boards on how to operate as effectively as possible following the publication of the Loughborough University research on Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs)”. The interim findings of the research from Loughborough University were published in June 2009. It is expected that the final report will be published by the end of March 2010... The publication of this summary outline [for consultation and a call for evidence] builds on the progress already made in addressing Lord Laming’s recommendations." - page 1
