The Chief Executives of Mid, East and West Lothian, Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders Councils, along with the Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police and the Chief Executives of NHS Lothian and NHS Borders have undertaken to work closely together with other statutory and voluntary bodies and with the communities they serve jointly to deliver services for the protection of children.

The Inter-agency Child Protection Procedures for Edinburgh and the Lothians, are evidence of the commitment to deliver high quality services for vulnerable children and young people and to maintaining good professional standards in doing so. For children, young people and their families, these Procedures set out what can be expected from the professionals who have a responsibility for their protection. They indicate how children and their parents/carers will be consulted, receive help and support in a timely manner, and be treated and kept informed of decisions concerning them. Furthermore, it is expected that professionals will work effectively and jointly and share information with each other when it is necessary to ensure the protection and welfare of children and young people.
