The study is looking at the funding and whether it is being used cost effectively.
The partnership’s work to tackle the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on multi-agency safeguarding locally will also be examined.
The study is backed by £500,000 in funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research and is being carried out by academics at King’s College London and the University of Bedfordshire’s Safe Young Lives Research Centre.
Also taking part is the Association of Safeguarding Partners, the Association of Child Protection Professional and Family Rights Group.
“This research provides a unique opportunity to address the longstanding challenges of multi-agency collaboration for the protection of children and to establish a set of outcome measures which reflect what is important to children, young people and families as well as professionals and the government, while being easy for agencies to use and interpret,” said Kings College London principal investigator Jenny Driscoll.
