Safeguarding Pressures Phase 3

Safeguarding related pressures on local authority children’s services have been the subject of much discussion and media attention since the death of Peter Connelly in 2007. ADCS commissioned the first two phases of research in 2010 to explore the rise in safeguarding activity and evaluate the impact.
Phase 3 of the ADCS research took place in 2012 - with the final report published in October of that year.
