This item was discussed at the beginning of the meeting when the Sub-Committee was quorate.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services relative to the City and Hackney Safeguarding Adults Board Annual Report 2018/19. The report outlined the key achievements of the Board, areas for further development, and identified priorities for the Board in the coming year.

Members expressed concern with section 2.2 of the report, which reported that efforts to hear directly from people who have experienced safeguarding services were unsuccessful. Officers reported that no one came forward for the opportunity to meet with a psychologist, and new approaches were being explored. Officers noted that this was a sensitive area and needed to exercise caution in the approach taken.

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