About the LSCB

The purpose of the Richmond upon Thames Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) is to ensure that everyone is working together for the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.

It was established in March 2006, and is an independent statutory board, running parallel to the governance structures of the Children and Young People’s Trust Board. It co-ordinates safeguarding through each of the partnership's sub groups, as well as a number of specific safeguarding sub groups, to carry out its functions.

The LSCB is the statutory mechanism for agreeing how the relevant organisations in each area will cooperate to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in the locality and for ensuring the effectiveness of what they do. Meetings are held quarterly.
