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

Members received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services relative to the Corporate Safeguarding Policy. The policy emphasises that all City Corporation staff must know how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns. Every department must report to the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding how their department is following through with safeguarding responsibilities.

Members noted that not all Members of the Court of Common Council are aware of their responsibilities under the Corporate Safeguarding Policy. The Chairman suggested that Sub-Committee Members take the opportunity to speak to other Members about their responsibilities as Corporate parents. Officers noted that an e-learning module on safeguarding is available to staff on City People and can be circulated to Members as well.

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