Statement of Intent The Bradford Safeguarding
Children Board will work towards keeping children
in Bradford, under the age of 18 years, safe from
harm. We will strive to make sure that every
child in Bradford feels secure, well cared for,
and able to reach their full potential. We will
support all staff to help families and carers
achieve this. The Bradford Safeguarding
Children Board will make sure that all people who
work with children, and their families and carers
know how important it is to keep all children in
Bradford safe. The Bradford Safeguarding Board
will help all staff and professionals to work
together and know the rules about keeping
children safe. They will understand the
importance of listening to children, especially
when children are worried about themselves or
others. The Bradford Safeguarding Children
Board will work to reduce all the kinds of harm
that children can suffer, including abuse,
bullying and discrimination and avoidable
injuries and deaths. The Bradford Safeguarding
Children Board will seek the views of children
and the people who care for them in order for
Bradford to become a place where all children
feel safe and valued.

the end of this three-year plan for the children
of the Bradford District are

  children  will have improved.
• the number of child casualties resulting from
  accidents within the home in public spaces and
  road traffic collisions have reduced.
