Commentary on Sections Section 138 – Funding of Safeguarding Boards
388.Section 138 provides that a Safeguarding Board partner may make payments towards expenditure incurred by the Safeguarding Board. It may also provide staff, goods, services, accommodation or other resources. The Secretary of State must be consulted before regulations are made under subsection (3) insofar as the regulations require payments to be made by the police or probation services in their capacity as Safeguarding Board partners.
