About KSCMP

The focus of KSCMP arrangements is to:

• promote effective multi-agency safeguarding support;
• take rapid and decisive action to safeguard those at risk of harm or abuse and access the most appropriate support services to keep them safe;
• make children’s safeguarding personal and timely;
• engage with children and families, help them in strengthening their resilience and provide access to the most appropriate support;
• drive effective partnership;
• provide robust independent scrutiny and assurance to the partnership in relation to safeguarding and the welfare of children in Kent.

 

The implementation of the new KSCMP arrangements is a clear indication of Kent’s intention to take forward a shared and robust partnership arrangement which is a revised way of working across the safeguarding landscape. These arrangements also re-affirm Kent's commitment to working collaboratively across local agencies and organisations to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and improve outcomes for children and families.
