Keeping our children safe
If you are a resident of the Borough of Redcar & Cleveland, and interested in the welfare of children and young people, then Redcar & Cleveland Safeguarding Children Board would like to hear from you.
The Board is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and is looking to become strengthened by appointing a lay member who can provide a strong community voice. It is also anticipated that this will enable the Board and its member agencies to have wider public scrutiny.
Accidents, crime, bullying and deliberate abuse and neglect of children are all part of the Board’s work whilst bringing together key local agencies such as the Council, Police, Health, Schools and others who work with children or have a statutory duty for their welfare.
The Board hold these agencies to account for how they work, individually and collectively, to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
Successful candidates will be asked to attend Board meetings which are usually every other month on a Friday morning, but they may also be asked to attend other meetings and events. The minimum time commitment is six half days a year and expenses will be paid.
Applicants will be subject to an interview and enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and should not be employed by any of the agencies represented on the Board.
If you are interested please send a letter explaining why you would be suitable to:
Deanne Taylor, LSCB Business Manager, West Locality Base, Daisy Lane, Overfields, Middlesbrough TS7 9JF.
Letters should be received by 10th January 2014.
