The Nottingham City Safeguarding Children Board and the Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board have jointly produced Child Protection Procedures to provide consistency for those workers who cross boundaries between the two authorities.
The Child Protection Procedures reflect the changes in ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children 2010' and were issued in July 2010.
