Details
The pilot programme begins in June 2021 and will run for 12
months.
The general guidance document sets out where the pilot will
operate, the rationale behind the pilot sites and the
requirements of the programme.
Details on decision-making are set out in the decision-making
guidance for the pilot sites in England and Wales.
Decisions will be taken through a multi-agency structure with
representation from the 3 safeguarding partners: the local
authority, health and police.
