Safeguarding children partnership
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Partnership Board
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Partnership Board is the local safeguarding children partnership for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, covering 402 open schools. This page gathers where it publishes its procedures, how to report a concern about a child in each area, and what children's services record there. It is not the partnership's own site.
