Report of the Independent Chair of the City and Hackney Safeguarding Adults Board.

Members received a report of the Independent Chair of the City and Hackney Safeguarding Adults Board, relative to that Board’s Annual Report for 2021/22.

The Chairman commented that while the report covered both the City and Hackney, it was mainly focused on the latter. He asked if there were any supplementary processes for extra oversight of vulnerable individuals in the City of London population. Officers replied that the City and Hackney Safeguarding Board had a specific sub-board for the City of London, involving all the partner agencies.

The Chairman while the report included information on supporting the victims of modern slavery, he would also like to see more work done on the identification of cases. In reply, officers said that this was a priority for 2022/23. The Chairman requested that a follow-up on this work be brought to the Committee in twelve months’ time.

RESOLVED, that – the report be received and its contents noted.
