Changes to note

In October 2020 the GSCE agreed a number of structural changes to the safeguarding partnership, to be implemented from January 1st 2021 as part of its commitment to reviewing its ‘Published Arrangements’ under Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018. As part of that review it decided that the ‘Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Partnership’ will become the umbrella term for Gloucestershire’s Safeguarding Children arrangements comprising of an Executive, Management Group and Thematic Sub Groups.
