Report of the Commissioner.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner on the Child Protection Deep Dive.

In repose to the Chair’s query it was confirmed that the issues with the primary provider of Appropriate Adult services were being mitigated by the use of a secondary provider.

The Chair of the Police Authority Board requested that the report be shared with the Professional Standards and Integrity Committee and the Community and Children’s Services Committee as it was important that they were also made aware of the Force’s work regarding child protection. The Committee agreed that the Police Authority Team establish a joined up approach on the Force’s representation at other City of London Corporation committees and boards.

Following a Committee member’s question Officers explained the preventative measures taken by the Force with regard to the crimes described within the report explaining that these concerns were assessed on both a national and regional basis.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
