Safeguarding children and young people in Rotherham – Rotherham Safeguarding Children Partnership

Protecting Children in Rotherham: Working Together for Safeguarding and Welfare

The Rotherham Safeguarding Children Partnership (RSCP) brings together local organisations, professionals, and volunteers to ensure the safety and well-being of children and families in our community.

Our mission is to be assured that safeguarding practice in Rotherham is effective and robust. We will achieve this by providing support, guidance and training to all organisations working with children and young people in the borough.

Our priorities

The RSCP currently works to the following strategic priorities to ensure that the children of Rotherham are safeguarded by multi-agency partners.

Child Exploitation

Preventing and responding to criminal and sexual exploitation, improving safety in communities, and addressing defined risks including extremism.
Neglect

Reducing the incidence of neglect through early help, consistent professional practice, and better awareness of signs, risks, and routes to support.
Safeguarding in Education

Working with education partners and the statutory agencies to address risks for children in school and those not currently receiving a school education.
Performance, Practice and Learning

Using data and quality assurance to drive improvement, target partnership activity, and deliver training and shared learning across the system.
