PSCP Governance Structure

In September 2024, the Partnership’s Board agreed the governance structure below. 

Strategic Boards

The strategic Boards meet quarterly and are responsible for having oversight of the work that is being done in Plymouth to Safeguard Children. The strategic subgroups report to the PSCP Board, which is chaired by a Delegated Safeguarding Partner (DSP)- this is currently the Director of Children’s Services in Plymouth.
