The requirements to promote inter-agency cooperation to improve the welfare of children are set out in section 109 of the Children’s Act 2004. These duties demand the promotion of cooperation between the local authority, relevant partners and as appropriate other bodies working with children. These duties are to be made with a view to improving the wellbeing of all children in the authority’s area.
The Board will report to the Kent Health and Wellbeing Board in pursuit of its legal obligations.
