Definition: On behalf of the Local Safeguarding Children’ Board, the Social Services Department maintains the CPR which lists all the children and young people in the county who are assessed by a Conference to be suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm and for whom there is a plan">Child Protection Plan, a key worker and Core Group. The name of the child or young person can only be placed on the CPR by a decision of an Initial Conference that the criteria for registration have been met. A child’s name can only be removed by a decision of a Review Conference. When a child is on the Register in one county of the UK and moves to another county, they are automatically placed on the Register of the ‘receiving’ county. An Initial Conference will be held to ‘transfer-in’ the child and decide if the grounds for registration justify remaining on the Register.
