To receive the annual report of the Safeguarding Children Partnership.

The committee received the report which provided an update on progress against the Cheshire East Safeguarding Children’s Partnership priorities over 2020-21, as well as plans for the partnership for the next year.

A query was raised regarding the 518 cared for children referenced on page 26 as it appeared the breakdown in percentages did not total 100%. It was agreed that a written response would be provided to clarify this data.

A further question was raised about data on page 26 regarding the 148 children who had ceased to be cared for by the local authority as the figures provided did not refer to all 148 children. A written response would be provided.

It was noted that members of the committee were welcome to engage in frontline visits and could arrange this through the Chair.

A request was made for future reports to include comparative data from other local authorities for context.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
