Child Protection Committees
Local Child Protection Committees provide a forum for inter-agency working on child protection in every area of Scotland.
An initial working group was established to draft proposals for the future role and remit of Child Protection Committees. After consultation with stakeholders, the key requirements for Child Protection Committees were identified and models developed.
At the Child Protection summit in March 2004 Ministers unveiled a model for Child Protection Committees and an outline of the work needed to achieve this.
Work on drafting the new guidance was taken on by a new working group.
The new guidance was published in February 2005 and is available here.
