• Policy & Procedures
• Performance Management & Quality
• Training (with Local Safeguarding Adults Board)
• Communications
• Serious Case Review
• Child Death Overview Panel

Sub-groups are usually chaired by a Member of the Board, and the membership is made up of representatives from LSCB partner agencies.

From time to time, 'Task & Finish' groups are also set up to complete a specific task.
