SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY
The Medway Safeguarding Children Board (MSCB) is a statutory multi-agency organisation which brings together a range of agencies who work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people up to the age of eighteen years in Medway. The Board meets regularly throughout the year to discuss a wide range of issues.
The MSCB is designed to help ensure that children are safeguarded properly by agencies working effectively together and our membership includes senior representatives from Medway Council, all Medway health bodies, Kent Police, Medway schools, voluntary organisations and many others.

Safety in the Summer Sun
The summer season is now upon us, the weather is getting warmer and children will soon be out of school for the summer holidays. Below is some advice on how to make sure children are kept safe during this time of year.
For advice on how to keep children safe whilst on holiday please visit the NHS child safety page.
It is very important to protect yourself and your children from the summer sun. For advice on how to protect your eyes and skin from the sun please visit the NHS sun protection and skin pages.
To teach your children how to cover up in the sun you could let them watch the video that is available at the NHS Children first pages.
