"Working Together sets out how organisations and individuals should work together to
safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in accordance with the
Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. It is important that all practitioners working
to safeguard children and young people understand fully their responsibilities and duties
as set out in primary legislation and associated regulations and guidance.
This guidance was most recently updated in 2006. This latest revision follows the
publication of Lord Laming’s report, The Protection of Children in England: A Progress Report,
in March 2009, the acceptance by the Government of all of his recommendations and the
Government’s detailed response and action plan published in May 2009. Many of Lord
Laming’s recommendations are reflected in or given effect by this revised guidance. It has
also been updated to reflect developments in legislation, policy and practice relating to
safeguarding children.
Working Together is addressed to practitioners and frontline managers who have
particular responsibilities for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and to
senior and operational managers in:
●● organisations that are responsible for commissioning or providing services to
children, young people, and adults who are parents/carers; and
●● organisations that have a particular responsibility for safeguarding" (p.7).This document is published by the United Kingdom government and replaces prvious editions with the same title.
