Our strategy

Alongside the Stockport Safeguarding Children Partnership, we have developed a business plan for 2023-2026 (PDF, 525Kb).

In summary, our business plan states that we will do 5 things to help people who live in Stockport be safe and happy:

Working together to help children and adults.
We will make sure we talk to other people who are working with you.
Helping children when they turn 18.
We will help children to be grown-ups and live safe and happy lives.
Listening to children and adults and what their lives have been like.
We will make sure you are kept safe and we help you from things you’ve had
trouble with before.
Working with children and their parents to keep them safe.
We will make sure if we write things about you, they keep you safe and are
right.
Working with adults to keep them safe.
We will help adults to live by themselves and be safe and happy.
