Welcome to the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board website.
The Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board has a statutory duty to
- co-ordinate how agencies work together to safeguard and
promote the well-being of children, and - to ensure the effectiveness of safeguarding arrangements.
The Board believes that safeguarding children is everyone's responsibility. It wants to make sure that all children and young people in Norfolk feel safe and cared for.
We hope that this website is useful and easily accessible to anyone who wants information about any aspect of the Board's work.

Independent Chair, NSCB
