NSCB Obesity Policy
The Norfolk Safeguarding Children Board has produced an original and ground breaking policy on our safeguarding response to obesity when neglect is an issue. This can be found on the policy page of the NSCB website. It was commissioned by the Board’s Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) and developed by a Multi-Agency task and finish group in response to growing concerns about the way we identify and handle neglect in these cases.
The policy should be read in conjunction with the Neglect Strategy. It has been shared with the Neglect Champions, the Local Safeguarding Children Groups and the sector specific NSCB Advisory Groups, Health, Education and District Councils.
