This is an annual look at how the Council and its partners are safeguarding vulnerable children and adults.

This year’s report will focus on the Strategic Response to all forms of exploitation in children and adults and how partners from the Working Together to Safeguard Children – the Bradford Partnership and the Bradford Safeguarding Adults Board - work to drive improvements across the District and to hold agencies to account for their work in their area. This report also outlines the emergence of other complex safeguarding themes and the partnership response.
