This is the website of the Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCB) in the Pan-Hampshire area consisting of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Southampton and Portsmouth.

LSCB’s are official bodies which bring together a range of statutory and other organisations who share the responsibility for keeping children safe .

The website contains locally agreed inter-agency procedures that are to be used where there are concerns about the safety or welfare of children living in the 4LSCB area. While these procedures are for local use, they are based on specific guidance issued by central government.

Some links to other relevant sites can be found on this website and a telephone number and email address is available to enable those who wish to contact us to do so. And, over time, we hope to be updating and developing this web site further still.
