AIMS OF THE COMPACT

Please read the details below, before completing the Compact Agreement Form here

The overall aims of the Compact are to ensure agencies and organisations can:

• Safeguard children by having in place policies, procedures, safe working practices and suitable trained staff and volunteers;
• improve the quality of life and opportunities for all children by working together and in partnership with parents, carers and the community to improve outcomes for children in respect of keeping them safe.

PARTNERS TO THE COMPACT

Partner agencies and organisations will be all those working with children and young people in Bournemouth and Poole including agencies with significant access to children and young people.

There will be three categories of Partner agency:
Children
Board
Other board members

There are a number of voluntary, community and business agencies that are not directly represented on the LSCB yet do have an interest in achieving good outcomes for children in relation to safeguarding.

A register of all Compact partner agencies and organisations will be maintained by the Bournemouth and Poole Local Safeguarding Children Board and used to communicate with agencies across Bournemouth and Poole and involve them in the development of strategy and policy.
