SSCB compact

The compact is a shared agreement between all relevant agencies, statutory and voluntary, to establish a co-ordinated approach for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and their families in Salford. The compact sets out how each member agency of Salford Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) will operate and makes explicit the:

vision
role
commitment
functions
objectives
and standards agreed by all board members

SSCB is made up from members of a wide range of organisations which include the:

Local authority
Salford Primary Care Trust
Salford hospital trusts
Greater Manchester Police
Probation
Voluntary sector

Its work is independent from but closely linked to Salford’s Children and Young People’s Partnership Board.

The compact will be subject to scrutiny and review on an annual basis, in the light of any new guidance from government and in line with any developments of the Board.
