Published Arrangements

Under Review

The GSCP Published Arrangements are currently being reviewed and updated in response to a number of significant national and local developments. During this period, Gloucestershire remains fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Our safeguarding partners continue to work together to protect children, support families, address emerging risks, and deliver on the GSCP Safeguarding Pledge.

“As safeguarding partners, we pledge to protect children and young people across Gloucestershire by:

  • Tackling Child Sexual Abuse in all its forms, including online exploitation and emerging digital threats;

  • Responding to Harms Outside the Home, including missing children and adolescent domestic abuse;

  • Delivering proportionate, timely, and coordinated support.

Together, we commit to a joined-up approach that puts children’s safety and wellbeing first, addresses disproportionality, and amplifies the voice of every child.”
