Decision

That the Annual Report of the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Partnership be received and noted.

Reason for Recommendation:    

Safeguarding partnerships are required to publish and share Annual Reports widely.  Dorset Council is a statutory safeguarding partner in the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Partnership.

The Portfolio Holder for Children, Skills and Early Years set out the Annual Safeguarding Report which was a one Dorset approach to safeguarding.

Anthony Douglas, Independent Chair and Scrutineer of the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Partnership confirmed that the present safeguarding arrangements were working well, focusing on system leadership and set out the activities taken place to bring services together.

Going forward into the future the partnership would need to continue to establish strong communication and networks that make up a successful child safeguarding pan-Dorset.
