1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY1.1 This report highlights the following issues:• Activity continued to rise following the previous report, with thenumber of children with child protection plans peaking at 250 inApril 2010. This is now back down to levels consistent with ourstatistical neighbours• All child protection cases have remained allocated to a socialworker despite of the high demand.• A detailed action plan has been implemented in response to theincreased numbers of children with child protection plans, to safelymanage the demand and reduce activity in line with that of ourstatistical neighbours.• Child protection remains a priority for the Council, and despite thesavings agenda the number of qualified social workers delivering achild protection service has increased by 2 over the past year2. INTRODUCTION2.1 This is a revised and updated edition of the Child Protection Reportpresented to the Education Select Committee in April 2012. Thisupdate has been completed by Anna Carpenter, Safeguarding Reviewand Quality Assurance Manager.2.2 This report details information about child protection activity in theBorough from April 2011 through to March 2012 comparing ourperformance with that of our statistical neighbours and providing a triboroughperspective where this information is available. The reportreferences the work undertaken primarily within the key front-lineoperational services – the Contact and Assessment and FamilySupport and Child Protection Services.3. BACKGROUND3.1 It is a fact that in society, children may be harmed and seriously injuredby their parents and carers. This may take the form of physical injury,sexual abuse, developmental impairment, neglect or emotional abuse.The increasing prevalence of drug and alcohol misuse by parentssignificantly impacts on child protection numbers. Increasedawareness of the impact of domestic violence on children’s self imageand confidence has widened the scope of child protection to includethose children affected. However, the number of children in need ofprotection relative to the total child population remains very small.Page 199
3.2 Child protection involves the identification and multi-agencyassessment of the care provided to children who may be at risk ofharm from their parents/ carers, together with the development of aplan to reduce the risk of harm to those children by the coordinationand provision of services. Child protection also requires continuousmonitoring of the effectiveness of this plan, and prompt action to seek acourt order to remove children in those circumstances where the levelof risk cannot be satisfactorily mitigated.3.3 The services primarily involved in this are:• Family Support and Localities ServiceThe ‘Localities’ service provides children and their families in theborough with an early help preventative service. One of the coreobjectives of this service is to intervene and prevent vulnerablefamilies becoming dangerous and/or neglectful families who wouldthen require a child protection response.• Contact and Assessment (CAS)CAS responds to new referrals by screening all communication withthe Department; it decides what should be passed on to otherservices and, where necessary, follows-up with an assessment orchild protection enquiry. CAS will investigate child protectionreferrals and, where required by the enquiry, call an initial childprotection conference to bring together all agencies working withchildren. Where the risk to children is immediate and high, staff willtake emergency action to support the implementation of effectiveinterventions including removal of children where necessary.Currently, there is work being undertaken between the FamilySupport and Localities Service and CAS to consider how the frontdoor to children’s services can be a more family friendly andefficient service.• Family Support and Child Protection (FSCP)Where further work is necessary, the FSCP service assumesresponsibility for the case. Their role is to coordinate the on-goingwork to reduce the risk to the children. Where progress isinsufficient and the children remain at risk they will take the case tocourt seeking a court order for their removal.• Safeguarding and Quality Assurance (SQA)This service coordinates child protection case conferences, andprovides independent chairs for case conferences and independentreviewing officers, if a child becomes ‘looked after’ (formerly knownas “in care”). The service provides an independent check on thePage 200
