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

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services which provided details of an independent quality assurance review of safeguarding adults arrangements conducted in November 2013.

Members discussed the report, noting some suggested improvements and the positive comments made about the competency and knowledge of staff. In response to a question from a Member it was reported that the review had been evaluated using the same matrix as the Care Quality Commission. In response to another Member’s question, the Director of Community & Children’s Services reported that work was underway to review the safeguarding literature produced by the City Corporation, and that safeguarding would be acknowledged formally as a Corporate Risk by the Audit and Risk Committee in March.
