The Voluntary Sector Unit provides support to voluntary and community organisations working with children and young people, particularly in the areas of child protection and developing services for disadvantaged children.

• Child protection - groups are given support to develop appropriate child protection policies and procedures, including helping to ensure that Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks have been carried out on all individuals working with children and young people.

• Children's Network - this is a forum that brings together the local authority and voluntary and community organisations who work with children and young people to share ideas and help them to deliver effective and relevant services to children and young people.

• Advancing Services for Kingston Kids (ASKK) - this is a directory that has been set up to provide information on both statutory and voluntary services for children, young people and their families.
