Ordering the London Child Protection Procedures
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE NOW EXHAUSTED OUR STOCK OF LONDON CHILD PROTECTION PROCEDURES, WHICH ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ORDER THROUGH THIS WEBSITE.
We aim to revise the London Child Protection Procedures every three years, with the next update due towards the end of 2010 / early 2011 - for this reason, we will not be ordering any further stock of the third edition. If you would like a hard copy, please contact your Local Safeguarding Children Board.
Downloading the London Child Protection Procedures
Please note that Working Together to Safeguard Children, Chapter 8. Serious Case Reviews (DCSF, December 2009) supersedes the guidance previously published in Section 19 of these procedures.
The London Safeguarding Children Board will be updating the London Child Protection Procedures in line with the latest national guidance as soon as the fully revised Working Together is published. In the meantime, professionals are advised that the documents below have been amended to replace the guidance in Section 19 with a signpost to Working Together Chapter 8. Serious Case Reviews .
