The Safeguarding Children Service consist of four Safeguarding Children Teams. Our practitioners are all qualified nurses and have backgrounds such as health visiting, school nursing, youth offending health and as such can provide advice and expertise on wide ranging safeguarding concerns.

We provide support via our Trust Wide Safeguarding Duty Hub where you can access instant safeguarding advice, support and case consultation.

The safeguarding children teams also offer Safeguarding Supervision, if you would like to arrange supervision please contact the team by emailing safeguarding@merseycare.nhs.uk and we can make arrangements with you.

We also offer training, this is in form of the modular training packages that we update and change each year – please see the safeguarding training pages for more information. We can also support your teams with specific training needs you identify within your service.
