Decision - Safeguarding Practice - Update

1.       That the actions taken to continue to monitor and strengthen safeguarding and child protection arrangements across the CYPT partnership and the LSCB be noted.

2.       That, with the Chair of the LSCB, the Board considers what further actions should be taken, including development of a formal protocol between the CYPT Board and the LSCB, to clarify governance arrangements for safeguarding and child protection in the city including the relationship between the two boards.

This is one of a series of reports to the CYPT Board in response to the requirement by the Secretary of State that all local areas review safeguarding and child protection services for children and young people following events in the London Borough of Harringey.  The recommendations in this report enable the Board to discharge that responsibility and to develop its relationship with the Local Children’s Safeguarding Board.

Not applicable.
