Children and Young People Support
If you are looking for some help and guidance or you are supporting a young person that would like some advice or may have experienced harm, please look at the below support agencies and helpful websites.

The Diocese of Lincoln is a partner of the Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP).
LSCP is a statutory multi-agency partnership board whose vision is that children and young people are safeguarded, supported and their lives are improved. We can achieve this by all agencies working together.
As a partner organisation, the Diocese of Lincoln benefits from resources, up to date information and training opportunities.
Website
The LSCP website houses information and resources. Here you can sign up to their Newsletter to receive the latest updates and opportunities.
Training
LSCP provides free safeguarding training via the Virtual College. This is not a replacement for the required Church of England training but is a helpful supplement for continued development and understanding for the betterment of child safeguarding in our Diocese.
Campaigns
The Diocese of Lincoln seeks to support the campaigns of LSCP and partnership organisations.
Latest campaigns can be found on the LSCP Facebook and X (Formerly Twitter).
