In the absence of Councillor Comer-Schwartz, Councillor Watts introduced the report. Councillor Watts advised that the government asked every local area to review its safeguarding arrangements.  We undertook a very thorough review involving all our partners and arrived at a new model which is very similar to the one in place now.  Ofsted recognised that the current arrangement was working well and have confirmed they are happy with the new proposals.  The new arrangements will take effect from 1 September 2019.

RESOLVED:

2.1     That the new multi-agency safeguarding arrangements between
          Islington Council, Islington Clinical Commissioning Group and the
          Central North Basic Command Unit of the Metropolitan Police Service
          be agreed.

Reason for decision – to fulfil the new statutory requirement to implement multi-agency safeguarding arrangements and to retain the strengths of our safeguarding arrangements

Other options considered – none other than as specified in the report.

Conflicts of interest/dispensations granted – none.
