National Review Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson Child Protection in England
The Panel found evidence of professionals carrying out effective child protection, however it was also found that the child protection element in safeguarding systems needs to be strengthened across the country. The Panel has made eight recommendations to ensure the systems, processes, leadership, culture, and wider service context enable professionals to safeguard children effectively.
GSCP and its statutory partners are committed to safeguarding children across Greenwich and will be using the extensive learning from this review along with local learning from previous and ongoing Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews to develop a local action plan and ensure partnership arrangements are effective for keeping children safe.
