answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>Responsibility for action to tackle child maltreatment and respond to the needs of vulnerable children rests primarily with local government, alongside other local agencies, including health services and the police. This work is co-ordinated by local safeguarding children boards. Our statutory guidance, ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’<em>, </em>sets the framework within which local agencies should work on a multi-agency basis to safeguard children. Ofsted inspects local authority services for children in need of help and protection, and inspections focus on the quality of these services, including whether the right decisions are made for young people and whether they are made at the right time.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 27/10/2014 17:52:24 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
