Issue - meetings

To consider a report by the Lead Member for Safeguarding.

The Committee considered recommendations from the Shadow Overview and Scrutiny Committee from its meeting held on 4 February 2019 on new Safeguarding Children Partnership Arrangements.  Members supported the report and welcomed the prominence of the voices of children, young people and families as a significant part of the future of safeguarding.  It was also recognised that progress would need to continue to be made in respect of integration with neighbouring local authorities.

2. That delegated authority be granted to the Executive Director – People (Children) for the plan to receive independent scrutiny ahead of submission to the Secretary of
