Safeguarding Children in Banbury (SCIB) is a collaboration of schools, college, health, police, social care and additional support agencies. The aim is to educate and inform our young people and families. The group’s objectives for the children/young people/community are as follows: I know how to keep myself safe from... I know how to keep my child safe from... We know how to keep our community safe from ...
There are three main focus areas across the year, the first being based around education on Substance misuse/being healthy/good and bad habits; the second would be around Internet Safety and the third around Healthy Relationships
The educational establishments then all teach the same message at the same time of year, so the children and young people are all hearing the same messages in order to keep themselves safe.
SCIB produce a public and professional website which shows what our children have learned over the year and provide useful information for parents and carers as well as up to date advice and resources for professionals. In October 2018 they exhibited in Castle Quay, showcasing children’s work and providing information and advice.
