This part of the website applies to you if you are a ‘Professional’, working with or caring for children and young people in an employed or voluntary capacity.

This includes people whose job brings them into contact with children infrequently or on an adhoc basis, such as members of the Emergency Services or Clergy. It also includes the wide variety of people in a caring capacity, such as Foster Carers, Childminders or Youth Workers.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Children Partnership Board are responsible for co-ordinating local agencies’, in ‘statutory’ and ‘non statutory’ agencies and has a collective responsibility for ensuring that all agencies working with children across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough undertake their safeguarding duties and responsibilities appropriately.

We hope you will find the information useful.

Supporting all professionals to work with offenders’ children and their families

An estimated 310,000 children every year have a parent in prison in England and Wales and 10,000 visits are made by children to our public prisons every week.

www.nicco.org.uk lists comprehensive information from voluntary and statutory agencies across England and further afield. The three Directories enable practitioners to search for Services, Resources or Research to inform their practice with children and families of offenders.
