Welcome to the SBNI Consultation on the Draft Strategic Plan 2026–2030

We are pleased to share the draft SBNI Strategic Plan 2026–2030 for consultation. This is the SBNI’s fourth Strategic Plan and has been shaped by the views of children and young people, parents/carers, and partner agencies.

They have told us that, to help keep children and young people safe from risk and harm, we should focus on the following priorities over the next four years:
