Members received the Harrow Safeguarding Partners’ Annual Report.

The was the first Harrow Safeguarding Report that had reported on the work to safeguard both adults and children – previously there were 2 separate reports.

The move to have a single report reflected the further integration of the support structures and funding for the Partnership as well as the joint work to strengthen awareness and understanding of safeguarding issues as they impacted on all members of the family, Safeguarding Partners in a Local Authority Area.  For the purposes of both safeguarding adults and children (the Partners) were required to publish their arrangements for both sets of safeguarding arrangements.

They were also required to publish at least annually a report on what the Partners had done under the Arrangements and whether they have been effective.  This independent scrutiny report was an assessment of how effective the Harrow Safeguarding Partnership had been in 2021-22.

RESOLVED:  That the Annual Report be endorsed.
