Swindon Local Policies, Protocols & Guidance

Child protection and safeguarding procedures provide standards for agencies and a framework to promote children's welfare and protect them from abuse and neglect. Swindon Safeguarding Partnership is signed up to the South West Child Protection Procedures (SWCPP). For more information about the SWCPP and access to the procedures please go to the SWCPP page.

Swindon Safeguarding Partnership has developed local multi agency procedures and guidance to address specific issues in Swindon, these procedures can be found below.

Swindon Children and Families Service have developed a Swindon Procedures Manual which is a collation of all procedures relating to internal (Swindon Borough Council) staff. To access these procedures please see the Swindon Procedures Manual page.

Please note some of these documents are currently being revised or an update is planned. Revised versions will appear here as soon as they become available. In the meantime, if you have any queries regarding these documents please contact the Swindon Safeguarding Partnership Business Unit: safeguardingpartnership@swindon.gov.uk
