Annual Reports

As required in Working Together to Safeguard Children, in order to bring transparency for children, families and all practitioners about the activity undertaken, the safeguarding partners must publish a report at least once in every 12-month period.

The report must set out what they have done as a result of the arrangements, including on child safeguarding practice reviews, and how effective these arrangements have been in practice.

Quality Assurance Framework

The Berkshire West Safeguarding Children Partnership (BWSCP) Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) combines various data sources to assist the Partnership to understand the quality of practice to safeguard children and young people. The Framework is designed to help generate a culture where the best standards of practice are expected, by providing high challenge and high support. The challenge comes via rigorous scrutiny of practice and delivered using skilled feedback across the professional system, which is informed by strong values of openness, transparency, honesty and of never setting out to harm others, whether fellow professionals or children and families.  Find a link to the Quality Assurance Framework here.
