Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services relative to the Adolescent Safeguarding Self-Assessment for 2019. The report assessed adolescent safeguarding work, which is an area of focus in the City of London’s work with the London Regional Improvement Alliance. It was reported that safeguarding crosses over local authority boundaries, and the assessment was a dynamic tool to ensure that adolescent safeguarding remains robust. The City Corporation relies on local authorities for secondary school reporting. MACE group members are valuable in reporting as they are living amongst the communities and are able to identify early signs of problems with adolescents.

The report was noted.
