Relevant safeguarding bodies must co-operate with the Board, committees, and sub-committees— (a) in the exercise by the Board or a committee or sub-committee of its functions; and (b) in the exercise by the body concerned of any of its functions relating to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children or safeguarding and protecting vulnerable adults.
