We know that effective multi-agency collaboration is key to promoting the wellbeing of children and preventing any child from falling through the gaps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCPOMS Engage has already helped us to drastically speed up the way in which we share information with other agencies we work with. It has transformed our ability to work more closely with our partners and ultimately, ensure the children in our care get the support they need in a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Wild, managing director at CPOMS said:<\/strong> \u201cSchools and local authorities are under more pressure than ever before, and alongside this, the rising number of referrals made to social services highlights that children\u2019s safeguarding continues to be a significant challenge for local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s therefore vital that processes between local authority departments and schools are as efficient and streamlined as possible \u2013 and we\u2019ve worked closely with local authorities and schools to develop a solution that directly addresses the challenges they are facing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s brilliant to have Southway School in Leeds pioneering this software to address the safeguarding challenges it is facing \u2013 and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing more local authorities and schools collaborating in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about how CPOMS Engage can support the secure sharing of safeguarding information across agencies, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpoms.co.uk\/cpoms-engage-for-local-authorities\/\">www.cpoms.co.uk\/cpoms-engage-for-local-authorities\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Referrals to children\u2019s social services by schools have risen by more than 50 per cent in the last eight years 129,090 referrals were made by schools in 2022 &#8211;
