Manual News!
WELCOME to the new child protection practice manual site. As you can see, the look and feel is a little different from the previous site and is accessible via both the internet and intranet. The change to the new site does not affect the content of practice advice or guidance, only its presentation and navigation pathways. If you have any issues with accessing or using the manual, please email the CP manual team via the ‘contact us’ link situated in the top right hand corner of the screen. In the future, this space will include alerts to changes to content, tips on how to use the manual and practice news.
