What is a Safeguarder?
Safeguarders are people, normally with a relevant professional background in law, social work or teaching, who are appointed by children's hearings or sheriffs when this is required to safeguard the interests of a child in proceedings. Their role is to provide support and advice. They always provide written reports for children's hearings reflecting the child's best interest. They may also do this for court cases. They normally attend and contribute to children's hearings.
All local authorities in Scotland have a duty to recruit and maintain a panel of safeguarders and the administration of this function is undertaken by the Administration Officer within Committee Services who also acts as the main point of contact.
