About the West Glamorgan Safeguarding Board
The West Glamorgan Safeguarding Board (WGSB)
was established to promote, inform and support multi agency safeguarding for Children and Adults across Neath Port Talbot and Swansea.
We are the key statutory mechanism for agreeing how organisations will co-operate to safeguard and promote the welfare of Children and Adults living in the region.
The WGSB is a multi-agency forum, which brings together representatives of each of the main agencies and professionals who are responsible for helping to protect Children and Adults from abuse and neglect.
The WGSB is responsible for agreeing on how the different services and professional groups should co-operate to safeguard children and Adults, and for making sure that arrangements work effectively in bringing about better outcomes for Children and Adults in West Glamorgan.

The aim of Safeguarding Week is to raise awareness about safeguarding because everyone has a role
to play in keeping people safe from harm. And to educate people about the signs and dangers of abuse or neglect and to encourage organisations to have vital conversations and share safeguarding resources.

around them to recognise the signs and dangers.
Safeguarding should be a priority for all organisations,
voluntary, statutory and charities, especially those that work with children, young people and adults at risk.

awareness of safeguarding and sharing best practices. so go take a look, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Business Unit wgsb@npt.gov.uk
