Muswell House
To provide an update on Muswell House Children’s Home.
Minutes:
Further to previous meetings members received an update on staffing issues at Muswell House. The committee noted the evolving relationship between Muswell House and Tavistock and recognised that the input provided by them on mental health had been important to supporting work with the 16 and above age group.
The committee learned that the assessment process was near formalisation but assessments were continuing and using the broad principles of the, to be agreed, assessment process.
The updated guide to Muswell House would be launched on the 26 November 2010. Staff were exploring the idea of devising a DVD to go alongside the guide to introduce young people to the residence when they first arrive. Work was also continuing on finalising the formal procedures for Muswell house and there was support from a Council re-deployee on these and record books.
RESOLVED
That the committee note the report.
