Monitoring and Inspection
Please refer to the file "Board Terms of Reference" in the Document Library on this site.
Whilst a role for the Board is to monitor and review the work of all agencies involved in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children within Telford & Wrekin, it will also be subject to scrutiny and inspection itself:
On an annual basis (or as requested) the Chair of the Board will meet with the Director of Children’s Services and with the Cabinet Members for Children’s Services.
The Annual Report will be presented to the C&YPSP (the Strategic Partnership) and will be publicly available.
With its links to the Children and Young People Plan (CYPP) and the responsibility for progressing the Staying Safe chapter, the Board can be clearly held to account in respect of its success in progressing the safeguarding agenda.
The effectiveness of the Board will contribute to judgments made in the Annual Performance Assessment, any individual service inspections and, to the Joint Area Review.
