Leeds Safeguarding Children Board
- Core Values
The Leeds Safeguarding Children Board Core Values reflect the principles, standards and objectives adopted by the Leeds Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership, in the light of national legislation and guidance. These also reflect our commitment to the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child.
-
Every child or young person is a unique individual, who has something to offer to the community
-
The welfare of the child will always be our first priority
-
We will listen to the views of children, and take them into account
-
In all our work we will strive to offer the best possible protection to children from all forms of harm, abuse or exploitation
-
We will offer services to families and children which help them minimise the risk of any such harm to their children
-
Children are best cared for within their own families, unless this would be harmful to them
-
We will work together with parents and carers, recognising their own needs and strengths, but always putting the needs of children first
-
The most effective planning for children is undertaken in partnership with families, and closely co-ordinated between agencies
-
Agencies will work together, in a spirit of partnerships and collaboration, at both strategic and practice levels, to deliver the best possible service to children and families
-
Services for children and their families will be designed and delivered with reference to their opinions and expectations, on the basis of genuine participation by them, and effective partnership with their communities
-
Children, young people and their families will not be discriminated against because of ethnic origin, colour, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation or any other attribute. Every agency must be actively committed to equality of opportunity and combating discrimination
-
Services for children and families should aspire to reach the highest standards, with a process of continuous development and improvement
