Milton Keynes Safeguarding Partnership arrangements
The MK Together Safeguarding Partnership is made up of senior leaders from key agencies in Milton Keynes who agree ways to co-ordinate local safeguarding, act as a strategic leadership group in supporting and engaging others and implement local and national learning, including from serious child safeguarding incidents.
As part of its work the MK Together Safeguarding Partnership develops and publishes policies, guidance, and resources to aid the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults.
As set out in Working Together 2023 and the Care Act 2014, the members of the MK Together Safeguarding Partnership work together to set out and deliver strategic priorities. It is a decision-making body and is accountable to the Health and Care Partnership and the Community Safety Partnership.
The MK Together Partnership handbook was updated in 2024. The handbook details how Milton Keynes multi-agency safeguarding arrangements are incorporated in the MK Together Partnership arrangements.
Collaborative Learning
In 2024 the MK Together Safeguarding Partnership finalised a Collaborative Learning document, which sets out the Partnership's commitment and expectation for collaborative and continuous partnership learning via statutory, non-statutory and single agency reviews.
