Waltham Forest’s Safeguarding Partnership is made up of the Safeguarding Children Board and Safeguarding Adults Board. We are responsible for ensuring that the agencies who work with residents in the local area work together to promote the welfare and safety of children and/or help and safeguard adults with care and support needs. Our Safeguarding Partnership Boards work closely with the local Health Partnerships and the Community Safety Partnership, (known locally as SafetyNet) to coordinate and oversee the activity of local agencies to ensure that our residents are kept safe and well.
