The Newcastle Safeguarding Children’s Partnership is a multi-agency partnership, with responsibility for safeguarding children and young people throughout the city. Leadership is provided by three statutory partners, Newcastle City Council, Northumbria Police, and Newcastle Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group. Their work is coordinated by the Independent Chair Heather Pearson. The NSCP works closely with other relevant groups to ensure a coordinated, city wide, approach to a range of issues which cross the boundaries of age, and are therefore not the specific remit of any one particular group. These include Safe Newcastle and the Newcastle Safeguarding Adults Board.
