Rapid Document Review PraxisCollab September – October 2021

Abstract

PraxisCollab has been commissioned by The Children’s Society to review the governance and co-ordination of child safeguarding arrangements in London, to clarify the partnership’s future role in supporting effective safeguarding practice. The Children’s Society will be undertaking a range of activities to build on this work and any identified gaps in knowledge.

This rapid review will examine current safeguarding arrangements under The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and how they function in relation to statutory responsibilities in the Children and Social Work Act 2017. It will review MOPAC’s current role in frontline Safeguarding of children and young people (CYP) in London and make recommendations for creating more effective local safeguarding arrangements.

The research team would like to thank Kelly Lewisham and her team for their support throughout the process of this review.
