Child protection improvement plan
A DETAILED improvement plan aimed at tackling the issues raised by the HMIe's joint inspection of child protection services will be considered by councillors next week.
Dundee City Council's policy and resources committee will be told that the council, NHS Tayside and Tayside Police are committed to working together to make improvements to strengthen services to protect children and young people in the city.
Policy and resources committee convener Ken Guild said: "The HMIe report identified in detail areas of policy and practice that need to be improved to ensure public confidence.
"This improvement plan, which will be closely monitored at the highest levels of the three partner organisations, proposes more than 30 separate actions to be taken jointly or as individual bodies.
"But we are planning to go further by implementing a best value review of child protection services in the city, which will tackle the concerns of the inspectors as they relate to all of the child protection services in Dundee.
"It will be wide-ranging, thorough, fit for purpose and above all when it is implemented will deliver significant improvements."
If it is approved by the committee, which meets on Wednesday, (July 1) the best value review will consider the future development, delivery, evaluation and monitoring of child protection services in Dundee and monitor progress of implementation of the wider improvement plan.
Chaired by chief executive Alex Stephen the best value review will tackle seven objectives including ensuring the consistent application of policies to meet the needs of children, reviewing delivery of integrated children's services and reviewing collective leadership arrangements to make sure that they provide clear direction to effectively protect children.
The best value review group will include at least seven councillors and officers of Dundee City Council, Tayside Police, Dundee Children's Panel, the Scottish Children's Reporters Administration, NHS Tayside and representatives of the voluntary sector.
Monthly meetings of the chief officers of each of the partner organisations will make sure that the improvement plan is being put into practice.
In addition to £1.3m already committed by Dundee City Council to strengthen child protection services, an extra £500,000 has been set aside from council balances to be spent on making the improvements to child protection services in the city identified in the plan.
An update on activity will be brought back to councillors in four month's time, which will coincide with the submission of a progress report to HMIe.
