Child protection register
The child protection register is a confidential list of all children in the area who have been identified at a child protection conference as being at significant risk of harm.
Please note that during the Covid-19 pandemic, a more frequent, high level child protection data collection has temporarily been established from management information. This collection can be accessed here:
