Safeguarding policy
We have our own Safeguarding Policy which sets our approach in protecting vulnerable people from harm.
Our role as a borough council is to share information with relevant partner agencies, and make referrals to the safeguarding authority, Kent County Council (KCC).
We also have a duty to work in partnership with other key agencies such as Kent and Medway Safeguarding Adults Board (KMSAB) and Kent Safeguarding Children Multi-Agency Partnership (KSCMP). By working closely and collaboratively with these agencies and professionals, we can promote the welfare and safety of children and adults at risk in the county.
