Decision details

Cabinet received a report presenting the draft annual report of the independent Lancashire Safeguarding Children's Board (LSCB). It was noted that the report was being presented as a draft to Cabinet to ensure timely information was available, and to allow for feedback to be given to the LSCB.

In welcoming the report and the chance to comment, Cabinet noted that some of the indicators were still draft, and that full consideration would need to be given to the underlying factors behind the reported figures. Some concern was expressed in relation to the commitment of partners to the LCSB, as highlighted in attendance statistics.

It was noted that the report, when finalised, would be considered by the Children's Services Scrutiny Committee.

Resolved: That the draft Annual Report of the Lancashire Safeguarding Children's Board be noted.
