NESCPC

 North East of Scotland Child Protection Committee

 All children in Scotland deserve to be cared for and protected from harm and to grow up in a safe environment in which their rights and needs are respected. Every adult in Scotland has a role in ensuring all our children live safely and can reach their full potential.

Protecting children is much a much wider remit than child protection and we know that to properly safeguard and support children and young people; services, communities and individuals need to come together to embrace joint working ensuring a collaborative approach.

The North East of Scotland Child Protection Committee, NESCPC, covers the three council areas of Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray. Membership of the NESCPC is drawn from representatives of public services and voluntary organisations with a common interest in and with duties and responsibilities to children and young people.

The NESCPC has, as part of its duties, to ensure that there are local inter agency guidelines in place to assist professionals and other interested parties should they have a concern about a child or young person.
The work of the NESCPC is underpinned by principles derived from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Scottish Executive document Protecting Children- A Shared Responsibility.

The NESCPC website will provide:

• A forum for professionals and members of the public, young people and community groups to access information about the NESCPC, giving details as to its members, role and remit alongside the most up to date version of the NESCPC interagency guidelines.
• Information on child protection training and conferences provided by the NESCPC as well as a range of other information related to the protection of children.
• A specific site for children and young people, developed by them, and a forum through which members of the public and professionals can engage in the debate about childrens vulnerability and the individual and collective roles and responsibilities in protecting children.
