Kent and Medway Safeguarding Children Procedures

Before reading the procedures, please read the quick guide to safeguarding children procedures and our safeguarding principles.

These procedures have been developed to support and help our partner agencies in their safeguarding work and the material is revised and updated regularly. 

We welcome any suggestions you may have for improvements or developments to these procedures so you can pass your ideas on to the relevant the Medway Safeguarding Children’s Partnership.
