Our Safeguarding Children Partnership (OSCP) Strategic Group
The Statutory Partners have equal and joint leadership responsibility for local safeguarding arrangements. Statutory Partners take the lead in agreeing the focus of the work of the partnership and business agendas and are accountable for any actions or decisions taken on behalf of their agency.
The OSCP Strategic Group meets quarterly and is made up of the statutory safeguarding partners and includes other professional advisors as required. They are expected to work together to consider emerging issues both locally and nationally, ensure mutual responsibilities and progression of issues across a variety of other partnerships such as Safer Cornwall and the Safeguarding Adults Board. They take responsibility for risk management, budget setting and use of partnership funds and ensure that safeguarding practice developments are evidence-based and informed by research and data. They also liaise closely with the wider OSCP Partnership Board receiving their recommendations and consulting them
on policy development.
