What is the Shropshire Safeguarding Community Partnership?
The Shropshire Safeguarding Community Partnership (the Partnership) is a wide range of partners who come together to prevent and tackle Child and Adult abuse and Community Safety (with scrutiny from the Independent Chair). Each partner organisation retains its own existing lines of accountability and responsibility.
