Implementing the Response Pathway
To support local partnerships introduce and embed the Response Pathway within their local practice, we have written Implementing the Child Sexual Abuse Response Pathway: A guide for local safeguarding partnerships and regional safeguarding boards.
The guide sets out the key principles of the Response Pathway, why it is needed, and how it was developed, helping local partnerships understand how it strengthens and complements existing multi‑agency safeguarding practice. It provides practical support for implementation, drawing on learning and case studies from areas already using it in practice
