Safeguarding children annual report
The Barnsley Safeguarding Children Partnership yearly report covers our work from April 2024 to March 2025. It provides an overview of this year’s multi-agency safeguarding activity and reflects the hard work and commitment of all our partner agencies in continuing to protect and safeguard children and young people at risk in Barnsley.
Our aim is to create strong relationships and a positive multi-agency environment in our shared and equal duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of Barnsley’s children and young people, building a brighter future for every child. Our Healthy Barnsley 2030 ambition is that everyone has the right support, with early help at the right time and place; that fewer people live in poverty and that everyone has the resources they need to look after themselves and their families; that our diverse places are welcoming, supportive and adaptable.
This past year we've seen increased pressures on public sector funding, alongside increasing
numbers of referrals into services both in volume and complexity for our children and young people. We've refreshed our multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, in response to 'Working together to safeguard children 2023', which has included strengthening our education partners in our leadership and governance model.
Our yearly report recognises the progress that has been made in working together to keep children safe from harm, the challenges that have been met and the work ahead of us. We're grateful to all of our partners and their dedicated front-line staff for their support and steadfast commitment to safeguarding children in Barnsley.
