Relevant agencies play a key role in collaborating to safeguard children and young people. Islington is fortunate to have commitment across all agencies who work with children and young people. The strength of partnerships has been consistently recognised by external inspections.
Not all organisations are directly represented on the Partnership, their involvement is secured by contributing to sub-groups, steering groups or safeguarding networks. While organisations and agencies not listed or named in the regulations, are not under a statutory duty, they should nevertheless cooperate and collaborate where appropriate with the ISCP.
The ISCP will draw on appropriate expertise and advice from frontline professionals from all the relevant sectors where necessary.
Relevant agencies are reviewed by the partnership annually.
