Notice Description

The Council on behalf of Worcestershire Community Safety Partnerships, Worcestershire Safeguarding Adults Board (WSAB), and Worcestershire Safeguarding Children Board (WSCB) wishes to develop an approved list of independent chairs and authors to undertake statutory reviews and case reviews.
