Explanation
The question is about the three safeguarding partners as defined by the law. Safeguarding refers to measures taken to protect the health, well-being, and human rights of individuals, which allow people —especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults— to live free from abuse, harm, and neglect. In the UK, the Children Act 2004, as amended by the Children and Social Work Act 2017, defines three safeguarding partners. These are: the local authority (local council), a clinical commissioning group for the area (responsible for health services), and the chief officer of police for a police area. The nursery and the local health centre are not included in these three safeguarding partners.
