HSCB Business Unit


The HSCB and its sub-groups (See Sub Groups) are supported by the HSCB Business Unit, which supports the board in implementing its co-ordinating and monitoring roles, as follows:

  • Monitoring how well statutory agencies are carrying out their responsibility under section 11 of the Children Act 2004 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, including their safe staffing arrangements.

  • Setting up and running a programme of multi-agency safeguarding training

  • producing and monitoring the implementation of the HSCB inter-agency child protection procedures

  • Undertaking a Serious Case Review (SCR) when a child dies, and abuse or neglect is known or suspected to be a factor in the death; the purpose of SCRs is to establish the lessons to be learned from the case and how they will be acted upon, and as a consequence, improve inter-agency safeguarding of children

  • Taking an overview of all child deaths (under 18 years) in the area, identifying any potential contributing themes, circumstances, or possible limitations in service provision by one or more agencies.
