Child protection and vetting
The safety of our children is everyone's responsibility
We want our community to be a place where all children and young people are safe, enjoy good health and have access to a wide range of positive experiences and opportunities to achieve their potential
Our responsibility
Social Services is committed to working in partnership with parents, families and communities in offering child protection and family support services to enhance the opportunities of all children and young people where-ever possible.
Our aim
We aim to ensure appropriate intervention is in place at the earliest possible stage to support health, welfare and learning. We provide a range of family support services including advice and information, practical help and direct work with children and young people, parents and families.
We have a statutory (i.e. legal) duty to ensure that children are protected from abuse and neglect. Allegations and concerns relating to child abuse are investigated jointly by Social Services staff with Central Scotland Police.
