Safeguarding Children

Central Bedfordshire Safeguarding Children Board (CBSCB)

We want to make sure that children and young people feel safe and cared for in Central Bedfordshire. We hope that the following information is useful to those who want to know more about the work of the Central Bedfordshire Safeguarding Children Board (CBSCB).

Multi-agency safeguarding arrangements (we sometimes call them MASAs) have been established by the government to ensure that organisations work together effectively to safeguard children and promote their welfare.

In Central Bedfordshire this includes:

  • social care services
  • education
  • health
  • the police
  • probation
  • the voluntary sector
  • youth offending team
  • early years services

In fact, any organisation providing services for children.

Alan Caton OBE is the independent Chair of Central Bedfordshire Safeguarding Children Board.
