On 15 December 2023, the government published “Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023. Statutory guidance on multi-agency working to help, protect and promote the welfare of children”.
This statutory guidance sets out what organisations and agencies who have functions relating to children must and should do to help, protect and promote the welfare of all children and young people under the age of 18 in England. The 2023 edition replaces Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018.
A summary of changes is now available at Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 (durham-scp.org.uk)
