204 Response to the Joint Targeted Area Inspection and consequent required actions PDF 322 KB
[Report of the Interim Director for Children’s Services. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Children and Families.]
This report makes a number of recommendations based on the need to address and incorporate recent findings from the Joint Targeted Area Inspection (JTAI) of the multi-agency response to abuse and neglect in Haringey, which took place in December 2017 and the vision referred to in the letter published by the JTAI on 30 January 2018, with the “Future Operating Model for Children’s Services” approved in March 2015, and with reference to legislative changes which will replace Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards with new local partnership arrangements.
The report also seeks agreement to review commissioning activity which brings together all Council services currently contributing to children’s well-being in Haringey, including services provided to or commissioned for their parents’ needs so that in time the fully developed operating model increasingly reflects a whole authority collaboration that maximises outcomes for vulnerable children and their families in Haringey.

The Cabinet Member for Children and Families introduced the report which sought agreement to a number of recommendations based on the need to address and incorporate recent findings from the Joint Targeted Area Inspection (JTAI) of the multi-agency response to abuse and neglect in Haringey, which took place in December 2017 and the vision referred to in the letter published by the JTAI on the 30 January 2018, with the “Future Operating Model for Children’s Services” approved in March 2015, and with reference to legislative changes which will replace Local Safeguarding Children’s Boards with new local partnership arrangements.
The report further sought agreement to a review of those services in the Council (e.g. services provided to children and/or their parents by Public Health or Adult Services) ensuring that services provided to support better outcomes for children and families are effectively co-ordinated and aligned into a “Think Family” approach. In time, this would produce a fully developed operating model increasingly reflecting a “whole authority” collaboration that maximises outcomes for vulnerable children and their families in Haringey.
