MINUTES
Matters arising Terms of Reference
• A paper reflecting the issues raised at the previous meeting, regarding the Board’s Terms of Reference, would be considered at the Board’s next meeting (February 2013).
• The Chair queried the term ‘workplan’ as set out on page 4 of the minutes; it was felt that ‘strategic oversight’ would be a more appropriate description of the Board’s business. With this change, it was suggested that Safeguarding should be added back onto the list of key developments for the Board to monitor, and that the annual safeguarding reports should form part of the Board’s agenda. There was a need to consider how this would link in with the wider structure and role of the sHWB in order that these were considered by the Board at the most appropriate time.
• The Board discussed the relationship between the Board and the Community Safety Partnership, particularly with regards to being aware of the statutory Community Safety Strategy; it was confirmed that Jeanelle de Gruchy, as a Member of the Community Safety Partnership would act as a link between the two bodies.
• In addition to the list of items for strategic oversight, it was felt that the Board should also have a forward plan in order to schedule its business throughout the year.
• Following on from the decision at the previous meeting that some of the Board’s meetings should be attended by a wider group in order to engage with stakeholders on certain issues, it was suggested that these sessions should be topic based and would enable the Board to fulfil its leadership role. It was suggested that the topic for the first of these sessions could be alcohol and that the following sessions should then be forward-planned, so as to
Agenda Item 3Page 1

deliver meaningful events.
• It was agreed, as discussed at the previous meeting, that there should be some reserve dates scheduled throughout the year, to be used only in the event that there was urgent business that could not wait until the next scheduled meeting. These would then be cancelled if not required. It was agreed that this point should be added to the minutes of the previous meeting.
RESOLVED
That, subject to the addition of the point regarding scheduling ‘reserve’ dates to the Board’s schedule of meetings, the minutes of the meeting held on 23 October 2012 be approved and signed by the Chair.

MONITORING THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING STRATEGY
Jeanelle de Gruchy presented the monitoring report on the Health and Wellbeing Strategy, which set out a range of indicators reflecting the strategy’s priorities and provided benchmarking for Haringey’s performance compared with London as a whole, and the borough’s statistical neighbours. It was confirmed that further work was needed around the further targets, as it was not clear at present how these would be set and where responsibility for meeting them rested, and it was noted that from 2015 the Council would be required to demonstrate progress made. For several priorities, Haringey had set its own local targets, for example with regard to teenage pregnancy rates. The Board discussed the report and made the following points:
• Information on the measures needed in order to reach the targets was contained within the Health and Well Being Strategy and the delivery plan.
• It was noted that the figure for breastfeeding rates in Crouch End, as set out under Priority 1: Reduce Infant Mortality, should read 85.7% and not 5.7% as printed in the report.
• The Board felt that, in addition to information on where the borough ranked in comparison with its statistical neighbours, an indication of what quartile the borough was ranked would be helpful.
• Board members welcomed this report as a helpful way of monitoring progress; going forward, it was suggested that a summary front sheet could be produced, to highlight the most significant public health issues. For future reports, performance could be flagged as very good, quite good or below average, with issues being highlighted on an exception basis.
HSP14.
HAVCO: THE VISION FOR STRENGTHENING HARINGEY'S
VOLUNTARY AND COMMUNITY SECTOR
Fitzroy Andrew, CEO of Havco, addressed the meeting and covered the following in his presentation:
Page 2
MINUTES OF THE SHADOW HEALTH AND WELL BEING BOARD
TUESDAY, 4 DECEMBER 2012
• One of the challenges was to bridge the gap between the Havco Board, in its role as strategic manager, and service providers.
• A change in public behaviour was needed in order to address the gap in health need within the borough; there was a need to move towards self-reliance and an increase in volunteering was likely to be needed.
• The third sector was a vital resource, and had the potential to deliver prompt solutions at the same time as being fully inclusive of the whole community.
• Havco’s role was to support, challenge and inspire the sector, balanced against the need to support themselves as an organisation.
• It was important for Havco to develop its own knowledge base.
• With regard to volunteering, Havco had a role in encouraging growth in the number of volunteers, and increasing the recognition of the work undertaken by volunteers; it was noted that, within certain communities, there was already recognition of the importance of care provided within families, and this was a model that should be replicated.
• Developing networks and sharing best practice within the sector was essential. It was suggested that, in order to familiarise the sector with the changing shape of the health economy, a session should be set up to allow the local authority, CCG and shadow Board to discuss the changes with representatives from Havco member authorities, and it would be most useful for this to be arranged before the start of the next financial year.
• Things that Havco needed to be good at included accessing resources, maintaining relationships and building its reputation as a trusted partner; this should underpin all of its activities.
• Mr Andrew advised that there was a funding opportunity for a trial project on engaging with young people, using technology to communicate health messages around the consumption of fast food.
In discussion with the Board, the following points were raised:
• Having watched the videos from Havco’s AGM, the Board asked about the possibility of moving to paid membership, and the impact this might have on membership numbers. Mr Andrew advised that, before looking at the issue of paid membership, there was a need to consider the relationship with the wider sector and how the organisation was going to deliver what it wanted to deliver. Being able to demonstrate how the organisation could add value would increase the number of members. Mr Andrew advised that, were they to move to paid membership, Havco’s services would still be available to non-members.
• Mr Andrew emphasised the importance of engaging with younger people in terms of succession planning for the sector.
• The Board expressed an interest in the project for engaging with
Page 3

young people; it was reported that the Council had already started looking at a similar piece of work, and it was agreed that Jeanelle de Gruchy, Libby Blake, Fitzroy Andrew and Caroline Rowe should connect around the possibility of linking these pieces of work together, outside the meeting. It was also reported that there was a Young Commissioners group looking at issues including obesity, and it would be good to link in with their work.
• It was noted that organisations within the voluntary sector in Haringey varied significantly in size and capacity, as a result of which there was a lot of capacity-building work necessary to support the full range of voluntary organisations.
• It was noted that there was a map of voluntary organisations in Haringey on the Havco website, but that this was in the process of being updated. It was noted that there were around 1600 voluntary organisations in the borough, most of which were micro-organisations, with the majority of organisations based in the east of the borough.
• With regard to involving young people in volunteering, young people needed to be asked what it was they would want to gain from volunteering; this could link with developing enterprise in the borough, and with young people developing skills which would help them in applying for paid jobs. It was recognised that there was a need to sell the idea of volunteering to young people, in terms of what it could help them to achieve.
• Although the current climate was identified as a potential challenge in terms of encouraging young people to volunteer, the experience of people helping out after the riots last year and this year’s Olympics demonstrated that goodwill was there, but needed the right catalyst to make use of it. It was noted that in both of these instances, there was an identifiable cause for people to rally around, and the challenge was to generate interest in the absence of such an obvious cause.
• The Board agreed that meeting with Havco member representatives to discuss changes in the structure of healthcare service would be useful and that such a meeting would be facilitated in the near future.

CCG COMMISSIONING STRATEGIC PLAN AND PRIMARY CARE
STRATEGY
Sarah Price gave a presentation on the CCG commissioning strategic plan 2013/14 to 2015/16, which set out:
• The purpose and current status of the commissioning strategic plan and operating plan
• Ambitions for the future
• Overview of the strategy
• Priority areas
• QIPP 2012-13 to 2014/15
• 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial position The Board was asked to consider how the link between this strategy and
Page 4
MINUTES OF THE SHADOW HEALTH AND WELL BEING BOARD
TUESDAY, 4 DECEMBER 2012
the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Health and Well Being Strategy should be maintained, and how success would be measured. The Board discussed the issue in groups, and the following points were raised:
• It was reported that the budget assumption for 2014/15 was based on national planning assumptions; this was in advance of the decision in December, which would be the first budget allocation to the CCGs. It was not anticipated that there would be a significant change, although it was noted that, as the amount would be smaller in comparison with the local authority and PCT budgets, even a small change could be destabilising. It was further noted that changes in acute provision could also have a knock-on effect on the overall budget.
• In response to a question regarding the Mental Health Trust budget, it was reported that this was largely block-funded on the basis of care packages, for which contract negotiations were held. Haringey worked with Barnet and Enfield CCGs to discuss issues such as the QIPP and what was needed going forward with regards to the BEH MHT budget.
• Libby Blake confirmed that the strategic aims and outcomes outlined were the same as those the Children and Young People’s directorate were working to.
• Sarah Price reported that there was a need for ongoing challenge to ensure that the CCG commissioning strategic plan related to the Health and Well Being strategy and to identify the overall ‘story’. It was felt that structures, and the way in which services were provided, would change in order to meet the changing needs within the borough; it was intended that more services would be provided in the community, with an increased focus on prevention and early intervention, and encouraging self-management.
• Indicators of success might include a reduction in spending on acute services, an increase in people registered with GPs and increased life expectancy. In terms of reducing health inequalities, things such as the number of healthchecks could be an indicator, and further work was needed with regards to how success could be measured.
• It was agreed that any measure of success should include feedback from service users.
• There would be some further work to clarify respective areas of responsibility, in order to avoid duplication, and a draft document, looking at the issue of alignment with the Health and Well Being Strategy would then be circulated.
HSP16.
LBH BUDGET PLANNING
It was reported that Public Health now came within the Council; while the budget was ring-fenced, there was still a need to look at efficiency savings. It was important to maintain partnership working, in accordance with the existing memorandum of understanding and core offer, while

working within the constraints of the current economic climate.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND DATES OF FUTURE MEETINGS
The Board discussed the topics for the proposed seminars for 2013/14 and the following were suggested:
• Alcohol
• Mental health
• Encouraging cultural change on health issues, especially among young people
It was agreed that Jeanelle de Gruchy would bring some outline proposals for the seminars to the next Board meeting for discussion. It was agreed that an alternative date should be sought for the next meeting of the Board in February 2013, and circulated to members outside the meeting.

Item number
Title:
Haringey Adult Social Care Local Account 2011/12
Report authorised by:
Mun Thong Phung, Director of Adult & Housing Services
Lead Officer:
Lisa Redfern, Deputy Director of Adult and Community Services
Ward(s) affected: All
Report for Non Key Decision: Non key decision
1. Describe the issue under consideration
It is suggested by the Department of Health (DH), that all councils with social care responsibilities consider producing a short, accessible local account annually, to describe successes, challenges and priorities in our performance in adult social care to local people. The format of the Local Account is down to local discretion.
2. Cabinet Member Introduction I am very proud of Haringey’s Second The Local Account as it provides an important opportunity to demonstrate to Haringey residents what we do and what we have achieved across adult social care in 2011/2012. It describes our approach to deliver positive social care outcomes for vulnerable people who use adult social care and their carers through high quality prevention and personalised care services. Enabling vulnerable people and their carers to have the right care, when they need it so they can live in their own home as independently as possible is central to what we do.
Agenda Item 4Page 7
Page 2 of 4
Some of our services are provided in conjunction with the community and voluntary sector and we are committed to working with our partners to develop services that reflect local demand. We are proud of our joint working approach through our shadow Health and Wellbeing Board (sHWB) and we aim to strengthen and develop this even further in 2012/2013 and beyond.
3. Recommendation
That the Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board note the content of Haringey’s Adult Social Care Local Account attached in Appendix 1.
4. Background information
This approach to reporting on adult social care outcomes, aims to be responsive to local circumstances, therefore, the format, structure and content of the Local Account are down to local discretion. As we are currently aiming to produce the Local Account annually, this current document is aimed to reflect 2011/2012. In line with Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) recommendations, our Local Account includes the following information:
• Outcomes achieved for citizens and consumers (taking into account the national outcomes frameworks);
• The Safeguarding Adults Board has produced an annual report of adult safeguarding activity in Haringey, which is available on the Council’s website
http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/social_care_and_health/safeguardingadults.htm and attached as Appendix 2;
• Equalities and diversity considerations;
• Productivity issues;
• Feedback from relevant scrutiny reviews; and
• Improvement priorities Our 2011/2012 Local Account (see Appendix 1) is structured around the Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF). This allows our performance to be clearly linked to these outcomes. To ensure the account is reader-friendly we have kept the document to 20 pages in length and used text boxes and pictures to highlight important information and to create an interesting layout. We have also published an easy-read version alongside the full document to increase accessibility.
Page 8
Page 3 of 4
http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/social_care_and_health/social_care_policy_and_practice/adult_social_care_local_account.htm The 2011/2012 Local Account is published on the Council’s website so that it is accessible to local residents. If a paper copy is required, these requests will be dealt with individually and a copy printed from the website. We received minimal feedback on our 2010/2011 Local Account, however we have reviewed some of the Local Accounts produced for other Councils, to establish best practice and what we think would work well in our borough. Accordingly we have decided to make some minor changes to the Local Account for 2011/2012; for example:
(a) We now highlight questions that were raised and the action we took as a result; (b) We have sought to include more pictures; and (c) We have included further case studies.
To ensure that the Local Account is useful for local residents, we have again included our contact details to receive feedback for next year’s account. This approach has been adopted by some other councils.
5. Comments of the Chief Financial Officer and Financial Implications There are no specific financial implications included in this report. It is expected that any costs associated with printing the report from the Council’s website will be contained within existing budgets. The financial aspects of the work undertaken by Adult and Housing Services are monitored by the regular financial and performance management framework of the Council.
6. Head of Legal Services and Legal Implications
There are no legal implications to this report.
7. Equalities and Community Cohesion Comments
Haringey’s Adult and Community Services provides a range of information, advice and care services to support residents over the age of 18, in particular, older people, people with mental health needs, people with physical and learning disabilities, people with substance misuse issues, people living with HIV/AIDS and carers.
Page 9
Page 4 of 4
The Local Account details our positive approach to equalities and community unity embedded within our service delivery. The report also celebrates specific services and initiatives that have embraced diversity and helped service users to access social care services. Adult and Community Services continues to gather equalities information of residents assessed for or receiving services.
8. Head of Procurement Comments
Not applicable.
9. Policy Implications
The 2011/2012 Local Account sets out the main policy implications for adult social care. In line with the Government’s Vision for Adult Social Care, the Localism Bill and the Think Local, Act Personal agenda, we are working closely with community and voluntary organisations to find ways of developing more personalised and preventative services which meet people’s changing care needs. Joint working with health services is one of our key priorities. Our sHWB, established in April 2011, is made up of elected Councillors, Council officers, health services, the Clinical Commissioning Group and the voluntary and community sector. This Board is taking forward the promotion of early intervention, prevention and wellbeing for everyone in Haringey. Haringey's Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2012-2015 has been developed by our sHWB. Key emerging issues for 2012/13 will include The Care and Support Bill 2012-13 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

MMuunn TThhoonngg PPhhuunngg Director of Adult & Housing Services Chair of Haringey Safeguarding Adults Board Welcome to the 2011-2012 Haringey Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) Annual Report. 2011-2012 was a year of consolidation for the SAB. I took up my role as chair of the early in the year reflecting the changes to the health service. A major development in safeguarding was the launch of the local Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH). partner agencies and we hope to see the service extended to safeguarding adults in the future. The Safeguarding Adults Members Panel provides an additional tier of scrutiny of adult safeguarding and has produced its first annual report. There are challenges ahead for us. We need to update and review our essential protocols and procedures and prepare for the proposed changes to adult safeguarding as set out in the draft Social Care Bill (July 2012). We need to develop our engagement with service users and within the community. We have very good safeguarding data but we need to use that data more effectively in planning preventative work. We have prepared the ground for more active sub-groups which will include local campaigns and targeted work. One particular success of 2011-2012 was the work of the Carers task and finish sub-group. The launch of the online safeguarding adults training has been a key development which opens up good quality training for internal council staff as well as SAB partner agencies and local providers. report. That is testament to the thriving safeguarding work being completed locally. We are very fortunate to have such commitment, and I look forward to working with you all in 2012-2013.

22..22..22 SSeerriioouuss CCaassee RReevviieeww ((SSCCRR)) Following the death of an adult at risk who was a resident of a local supporting living service, the SAB Serious Case Review (SCR) sub-group made the decision to hold a SCR. An independent chair was appointed and a meeting arranged for March 2012. However, the SCR had to be postponed as police were still investigating the death. The SCR will be completed in 2012-2013. One aspect of its work will be a process diary kept by the chair which will be used to update the local SCR policy and procedure.
22..22..33 CCoommmmiissssiioonniinngg IInniittiiaattiivveess Haringey Adults Commissioning Team has launched two new developments which address safeguarding matters:
a new accreditation scheme for domiciliary care providers. Each provider wishing to provide services for the local authority must first either be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) or be successfully accredited with Haringey Council. Since the launch of the accreditation process, we have reviewed five accredited suppliers. The reviews involved unannounced spot checks, a review of policies and the review of client and care worker records. We also observed how care is delivered to individual clients and interviewed residents using care, to find out whether the services they received improved the quality of their lives.

The council Adult Social Care Services Quality Board meets quarterly to review quality initiatives. Quality outcomes for safeguarding adults work include the completion of safeguarding questionnaires with staff. Three of these were completed in 2011-2012 and will be followed up in 2012-2013 to assess progress. The case file audit tool has been implemented. The safeguarding team completes two case file audits per month. The performance team analyses the completed audit and produces a report highlighting areas for improvement. This report is presented quarterly to the Quality Board for further action and improvement. The case file audit has been designed in line with the pan-London tool.

Haringey Council is the DoLS supervisory body and is therefore well placed to provide data. The DoLS co-ordinator provided regular briefings for the SAB throughout the year. In addition, agencies came together in the early part of 2011-2012 to share information about DoLS and agree a delivery plan. This included the provision of information sessions for care home providers by the DoLS co-ordinator. A more detailed briefing session for local providers is planned for 2012-2013. DoLS applications have been lower than expected, in line with the rest of England. There has been an increase since 2010-2011 (in line with the slight trend upwards in the rest of England); however numbers are still relatively low.

Channel is a police-led supportive multi-agency process, designed to safeguard individuals who may be vulnerable to being drawn into any form of terrorism. It is a key part of Prevent rable ble to being drawn into any ble
to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Channel works by identifying individuals who may be at risk, assessing the nature and extent of the risk, and, where necessary, providing an appropriate support package tailored to their needs. A multi-agency panel, chaired by the local authority, decides on the most appropriate action to support an individual after considering their circumstances. In 2011-2012 an internal Haringey meeting was held with the Channel team to agree the way in which Haringey will respond to Channel referrals. The local Channel panel sits on an y wias and whend to basis and involves local partners. The Safeguarding Adults Team has taken the lead for the adult Channel Panel to date. The new Prevent co-ordinator in Haringey Council will be involved in the work as we go into 2012-2013. Channel is a key element of the Prevent strategy. The Home Office has published guidance which provides advice for local partnerships on how to deliver Channel projects and provides advice on the support that can be provided to safeguard those at risk. http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/counter-terrorism/prevent/channel-guidance?view=Standard&pubID=1077165

In April 2011, as part of the consolidation of the membership, the SAB asked for each sub-, the SAB made the decision that sub-group work would proceed on the basis of having specific sub-groups, such as training, as well as additional task and finish sub-groups to look at specific items. Examples of task and finish sub-groups are the Rogue Traders sub- -group. The SAB also made the decision to set up a Prevention sub-group, the groundwork for which was completed at the end of the year. The SAB has a Serious Case Review (SCR) sub-group which meets as and when required. 33..11..11 TTrraaiinniinngg aanndd WWoorrkkffoorrccee DDeevveellooppmmeenntt SSuubb--ggrroouupp
The Training and Workforce Development sub-group re-formed in 2011-2012 with new terms of reference. Over three meetings, its focus was on bringing together partner agencies, particularly in health and social care. This allowed sharing of information about provision of safeguarding training. The agreement reached was that each agency would provide basic training with additional training provided by the local authority to cover safeguarding investigations. Further meetings took place with neighbouring local authorities to assess how each of them worked and to explore possibilities for joint training work. An example of this was the provision of financial abuse training in a joint Haringey and Enfield partnership. Work to explore the introduction of the Bournemouth University began. This scheme categorises staff into a number of distinct groupings for training purposes and sets out which of the competencies each grouping should complete. Haringey Council has a successful and easily accessible online training scheme in partnership with Learning Pool for the provision of safeguarding, DoLS, Mental Capacity ACT (MCA and other training. It can be accessed by council staff as well as external staff and partner agencies through the Learning Pool website.

They have been able to offer advice and practical help for adults at risk affected by doorstep crime and other abuse coming into the category of rogue traders. During 2011-2012 the trading standards lead officer worked with the police to produce information about local rogue traders and set up a system for trading standards to respond to incidents.
33..11..33 CCaarreerrss TTaasskk aanndd FFiinniisshh SSuubb--ggrroouupp In July 2011, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services ( Carers and Safeguarding Adults http://www.adass.org.uk/images/stories/Policy%20Networks/Carers/Carers%20and%20safeguarding%20document%20June%202011.pdf. This sets out the difficulties for carers in raising safeguarding referrals and at the same time being at risk of abuse themselves. The ADASS report asked for local SABs to take action to address these issues. SAB agreed that a task and finish Carers sub-group should be established to carry out a piece of work engaging with Carers groups and providing them with accessible information. An interim progress report was presented at the SAB and a meeting with Carers held in March 2012. Action points for future work with carers were agreed and an information session was held during Carers week in June 2012.
33..11..44 MMuullttii--AAggeennccyy SSaaffeegguuaarrddiinngg HHuubb ((MMAASSHH) The Haringey Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) was designed, planned and brought into operation during 2011-2012. A project team was set up in the summer of 2011 and the MASH became fully operational in February 2012. Staff from the Safeguarding Adults Team are involved in the MASH as are other SAB partner agencies.
, MASH brings together representatives of key local agencies. The aims are to provide a confidential and secure setting where agencies can share information about children so that an informed decision about intervention can be made. This can substantially speed up decision making by having relevant information shared at the initial stage. In addition, it allows the police to share information quickly and securely.

The MASH is staffed with professionals from a range of agencies including: adult social care police health and probation
Where additional information is required to ensure that a child is safe, MASH staff will share information. Based on the information gathered, MASH staff decide on what appropriate action needs to take place - whether it be a social work assessment, referral to early help services, or no further action. http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/children-families/childrensocialcare/childprotection/mash.htm
33..11..55 SSaaffeegguuaarrddiinngg AAdduullttss MMeemmbbeerrss PPaanneell The Haringey Safeguarding A Members Panel was set up in October 2010. It consists of three elected Haringey Council Members who act as the monitoring arm of safeguarding adults work. The panel was set up to provide scrutiny of the functioning of Adult Safeguarding issues in Adult Services and its partner agencies as they function in Haringey, and to give some reassurance to Members who are collectively responsible for the safeguarding of adults at risk in Haringey. The panel meets bi-monthly and is chaired by one of the councillors. The panel has an annual programme of work focusing on aspects of safeguarding and panel members have the opportunity to look at safeguarding performance reports as well as the Business Plan. During 2011-2012 the panel considered personalisation, commissioning and DoLS work.

33..22 CCaassee eexxaammpplleess -- ssuubbssttaannttiiaatteedd oouuttccoommeess ffrroomm rreeffeerrrraallss The following case examples are from substantiated or partially substantiated safeguarding referrals in 2011-2012. All names have been anonymised. 33..22..11 Financial abuse was a common type of abuse and featured in a number of substantiated referrals. For example, Mr A was an elderly man living alone and receiving home care from a private agency. Over a number of months his care worker was stealing from him by helping himself to money whilst carrying out the weekly shopping. The matter came to light when a council employee visited to carry out a financial assessment and was shown a bank statement. Mr A had not noticed that his money was dwindling. A safeguarding referral was made, the money was safeguarded at the bank, a police investigation was launched and the care worker was suspended. Fortunately, Mr A was patient and assisted the police with their work which involved two trips to the police station. prosecution was brought, the care worker was convicted and imprisoned and a claim for compensation was made for Mr A with his bank. Not all of the stolen money had been returned to Mr A. 33..22..22 Another financial abuse referral illustrates the importance of the wide network of people in the lives of an adult at risk. Each person in the network can act as a means of monitoring and checking that the adult at risk is well. In the case of Mrs B, a family member had been stealing money from her. This came to light when a local newsagent became suspicious about a newspaper bill which had not been paid by the family member. The newsagent asked other family members some questions and this led to an investigation again involving the police. 33..22..33 Mrs C is another example demonstrating what happens when agencies work well together. She was a resident in a sheltered housing scheme who was being financially abused by her son. He was living with Mrs C and at the same time exhibiting anti-social behaviour and upsetting other tenants in the scheme. A multi-agency safeguarding meeting led to an injunction being served on the son, a new assessment for Mrs C and the involvement of the police Safer Neighbourhood Team to monitor the situation. 33..22..44 Mrs D also lived in a sheltered housing scheme. The warden raised a safeguarding referral after n

full amount of time on a number of occasions. This lead to the home care agency investigating and finding that the care worker was not staying for the required time at a number of service users homes. Mrs care worker was changed and the care worker was disciplined and re-trained. 33..22..55 Abuse in care homes featured in an increased number of safeguarding referrals. A number demonstrate vigilance by the care home in identifying and reporting incidents of abuse. In the case of Mr E, the care home took rapid action after it was discovered that money had been stolen from him by a member of staff. That resulted in police action and the dismissal of the care worker. Other referrals were made after discoveries of abuse during visits from council staff or friends and relations. In one referral a resident (Mr F) had money that was not being properly accounted for by the care home. This led to a review and a mental capacity assessment for Mr F, followed by involvement of the IMCA service. Mr F then received help with managing his money and a regularisation of how his money was looked after.

44.. SSaaffeegguuaarrddiinngg AAdduullttss DDaattaa 44..11 In April 2011 there was a change in the way we respond to safeguarding alerts. Previously, all safeguarding alerts went directly to the Safeguarding Adults Team after initial reception in the Integrated Access Team. This had led to a large amount of work for a small team especially as a large number of safeguarding alerts did not proceed to an investigation.
From April 2011 it has been the responsibility of the Integrated Access Team (IAT) to look at all safeguarding alerts in the first instance. They do not pass on those where they can establish there is no safeguarding content. In many instances, they will seek advice from the safeguarding team and will refer on if there is any doubt. This has meant that, in 2011-2012, 960 safeguarding alerts were raised, only 470 of which were passed to the Safeguarding Adults Team for further screening and investigation. The data presented below is based on the 470 alerts that were passed to the Safeguarding Adults Team for further screening and investigation. TThhee nnuummbbeerr ooff aalleerrttss iinn 22001111--22001122 The total numbers of safeguarding alerts received were as follows:

The number of safeguarding referrals closed in 2011-12, relates to the number of safeguarding cases which were closed during the aforementioned year, regardless of when the referral was raised. This accounts for the greater number of cases closed (510) than referrals raised (470) in 2011/12. Of the represented within the graphs 4.2 below.

EEtthhnniicciittyy The group with the highest number of safeguarding referrals were for White British. referring 181 of the 467 raised; which represents 38.76% of the total referrals. However, the numbers are lower than the Haringey overall White British percentage -2012 has seen a rise in the percentage of the Other White Background group. This has risen to 14.35% from 10.22 The Black Caribbean group remains over represented in safeguarding adults referral figures. That is despite a fall in percentage terms in 2011-2012 from 17.62% to 13.92%. The overall Haringey percentage for Black Caribbean is 6.6%. Other BME groups are more likely to be under represented in terms of safeguarding adults referrals. For example, even though referrals for the Black African group has risen in 2011-2012 from 4.90% to 6.64% the numbers are still below that of the overall Haringey Black African percentage of 8.1%. Similarly, the figures for the Indian group show a slight rise but they are still beneath that of the overall Indian Haringey figure of 4%. The story is the same for the Chinese group. Other Asian groups have very small numbers of referrals and do not feature in the table above. However, there is work to be done with local BME groups to make sure that referrals are made when required and to address the overrepresentation in the Black Caribbean group.

This report shares findings from research, policy and practice on prevention in adult safeguarding and presents a wide range of approaches that can help prevent abuse. Its key message is that effective prevention in safeguarding needs to be broadly defined and should include all social care user groups and service configurations. It does not mean being over-protective or risk-averse. 77..

Those serious cases which come to court and receive media attention are just tip of the iceberg. Disabled people often do not report harassment for a number of reasons. There is a systemic failure by public authorities to recognise the extent and impact and abuse of disabled people, take action to prevent it happening in the first place and intervene effectively when it does. There are key safeguarding sections in the report. 88..

Foreword from Chair
In writing this report I wish to begin by thanking members of the board for their continued
commitment and contributions with a special thanks to Lorna Reith who has stepped down
as Cabinet Member but did so much to assist the LSCB and support services when Haringey
Council went through the process of transformation from 2008. We have also said farewell
to Sarah Peel who as board manager worked tirelessly to establish a new credibility for the
LSCB following the tragic death of Peter Connelly and reorganisation of services.
As this report makes clear the workload of the LSCB has not diminished a workload I am
afraid again dominated by the need for Serious Case Reviews but against the background of
change and changing legislation. The Munro report has achieved much, simply by
stimulating a debate about child protection and related support services. More broadly
reduced the legislative burden and to a large extent increased public accountability and
scrutiny.
The role of the LSCB has been enhanced but the task of holding a range of diverse and hard
pressed services to account is no less daunting.

SECTION 1 - SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The Children Act 2004 requires every Local Authority to establish a Local Safeguarding
Children Board (LSCB) in order to safeguard and promote the welfare of children through
effective co-ordination and partnership working. As set out in Working Together to
Safeguard Children (2010), the LSCB is the key statutory mechanism for agreeing how
organisations in Haringey will co-operate to safeguard children and ensure the effectiveness
of what we do. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined in Working
Together as:
Protecting children from maltreatment
Ensuring children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of
safe and effective care.
The Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 requires the LSCB to produce
and publish an annual report on the effectiveness of safeguarding in the local area to:
Analyse the effectiveness of local arrangements to safeguard and promote the
welfare of children;
Analyse the local area safeguarding context and
Assess the functions of the LSCB are being effectively discharged.
It should recognise achievements and progress by the LSCB and partners and the challenges
that still remain for all the partners. The report must include reviews of:
Lessons learnt about the prevention of future Child Deaths
Progress made in completing Serious Case Reviews and implementing actions and
lessons
Safe Employment of frontline staff and Training on safeguarding and promoting the
welfare of children
The Government has directed that from 2011 the LSCB must send a copy of the annual
report to the Leader and Chief Executive of the Local Authority.

2011-12 KEY PRIORITIES
been to reflect the need to ensure that multi-agency practice
around the protection of children from harm is effective. This is defined as covering:
The safety and welfare of all children on child protection plans and subject to child
protection investigations;
The safety and welfare of children with complex needs;
The safety and welfare of children living with compromised care as a consequence of
domestic violence, substance misuse, parental mental illness or learning disability,
culturally influenced abuse, family breakdown, institutional dependency, serious
youth violence, serial violence/anti-social behaviour or endemic criminality
Significant disabilities and/or chronic medical needs; or
A combination of one or more of these factors
This approached was endorsed by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission in the report
following their joint inspection of safeguarding and looked after children services (February
2011).
to be its focus:
1. Children, young people and their families influence the work of the LSCB
2. Strong governance and accountability arrangements are in place between
the LSCB and other Partnership Boards so that everyone is clear about roles
and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding children
3. Our practice is underpinned by a common strategic approach to the
management of risk at every threshold of intervention
4. A co-ordinated strategic approach to address domestic violence is ensuring
that fewer children and young people have to deal with its impact
5. A co-ordinated approach to practice with young people missing from care,
home and/or school is helping to keep those young people safer
6. All our partner agencies have integrated safe recruitment processes and
allegations of improper professional practice are investigated effectively
7. The LSCB can demonstrate that it makes effective use of the learning that
results from serious and other reviews.
Page 79
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
Although many areas were progressed the departure of the LSCB Business Manager in
October 2011 had a huge impact on the capacity to progress and meet all its
priorities. Therefore areas not addressed to satisfaction have been included alongside this
priorities.
KEY AREAS OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2011-12 Haringey LSCB continues to have an Independent Chair and successfully recruited a
new Business Manager who started in February 2011
As part of a group of London LSCBs piloting the SCIE methodology, Haringey LSCB
became the first LSCB to commit to publishing their SCIE Review report, recognising
the importance in sharing their learning not only across partnerships but
across the country
Appointment of a consultant to undertake Section 11 audit of agencies, which also
included an audit of agencies actions to specific recommendations from Inspections.
The Miss U project which works to raise awareness about the risks of running away
for children who go missing from home or care through preventative education in
schools, interventions and group work, will as part of Railway
collaborative work with its corporate partner Aviva, a £300,000 investment over the
next three years will extend the existing Miss U service to Haringey as well as
Camden and Islington. This is a multi-agency approach between Railway Children,
Aviva,
Continuation of a task group with the remit to focus on Domestic violence
Haringey LSCB co-ordinated targeted safeguarding forums for Designated teachers
and Children centres enabling those professionals who work regularly with children
and their families the opportunity to influence and be informed of the work of the
board and strengthen links with frontline children services
The transfer of the Child Death SPOC responsibilities to health following the
departure of the LSCB Business Manager who had been the SPOC, this has ensured
all notifications continue to be responded to as required
The Serious Case Review sub group has commissioned no new reviews in the period,
however did undertake a management review conducted under the SCIE
methodology
Page 80
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
The LSCB established a Working group to focus on Child Sexual Exploitation, with
recognition of the national 2 year inquiry into the sexual exploitation of children in
gang and group settings being undertak
Commissioner.
Section 4 includes more detail on the work of the LSCB and its partners.
REMAINING CHALLENGES There is a lot of work taking place across agencies but challenges remain in particular:
The need to look at the effectiveness of services providing early intervention
How resource and workforce development issues present challenge, especially
around budget cuts in public services
A challenge for the LSCB will be to focus on how it measures the success and areas
for improvement of its own performance
How the LSCB re-focuses itself in-light of local and national agendas/challenges that
include:
o Any changes to the role and function of LSCBs in light of the Munro Review
o Changes to procedures and practices for agencies working with children and
young people that arise from the Munro Review
o The national need to work to reduce harm from sexual exploitation
o The changes to health service
Ensuring the participation of Lay members and including the voices of children,
young people and communities.
The challenges identified from the sub groups and other areas of the LSCB are detailed
further in the report.

SECTION 2 - GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARRANGEMENTS
THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF THE LSCB
The Haringey LSCB operates within a legislative and policy framework created by the
Children Act 2004 and is tasked with co-ordinating safeguarding services and evaluating the
effectiveness of safeguarding within Haringey.
The objectives of the Board are:
To co-ordinate what is done by each person or body represented on the Board for
the purposes of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in the area
To ensure the effectiveness of what is done by each such person or body for that
purpose
The functions of the Board are to:
Develop and agree thresholds, policies and procedures
Communicate and raise awareness
Monitor and evaluate
Plan, participate and commission
Undertake functions related to child death
Undertake Serious Case Reviews as necessary
The Boards scope is wide and covers universal, targeted and responsive safeguarding. The
Business plan aims to address all areas, but remains focussed on its core business of
ensuring that children who are suspected or know to be at risk of significant harm are being
protected effectively.

STRUCTURE CHART
CHAIRING AND MEMBERSHIP ARRANGEMENTS
The Board is chaired by Graham Badman who has been in post since 2009. As the year ends
there will be changes around the vice chair post when Howard Jones steps down. The LSCB
will be seeking to broaden its membership in 2012-13 when it begins work to appoint two
lay members.
The board currently meets every six weeks, with a total of 7 meetings for the year. A full
attendance chart is at the back of this report. On the whole attendance is good with
agencies sending representatives, however there are some agencies where there is a need
for improvement, this could be achieved by either attending themselves or sending
someone in their absence.
The work of the board is progressed through its sub groups and time limited working
groups. Haringey has five subgroups each of which will have an annual work plan that is
agreed by the board. The groups are as follows:
Haringey Safeguarding Children
Board
Child Death Overview Panel
Serious Case Review Sub Group Training, development and
communication Sub Group

disabled children, which reports into the Quality Assurance sub group. In addition, the LSCB
co-ordinated two safeguarding forums, one for designated teachers and another for
children centres and early settings. The co-ordinating of these forums will be taken
ove service in the new year.
Page 84
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
There is also an executive group of the LSCB Board, which comprises of two leads from each
of the key statutory agencies, together with the Independent chair, vice chair and Business
manager.

outcomes in the Every Child Matters framework
In May 2010 the new Government announced that it would not enact the legislation that
However they
also announced that Section 10 of the 2004 Children Act would remain in place, so the duty
to cooperate on named statutory partners continues.
Last year the Council commissioned a review of its Haringey Strategic Partnership (HSP).
The review recommended ending the HSP (and replacing it with a core group) and most of
the theme groups. Initially the only standing partnership bodies would be the shadow
Health and Wellbeing Board (sHWB) and the Community Safety Board, on the grounds that
the HWB was due to become statutory and the CSB was already statutory. It was agreed
that the Children Trust could continue to the end 2011/12.
The Children Trust had three meetings in 2011/12. There was a very small executive group
which did continue to meet into early 2012, but that ended in February.
The LSCB chair was a member of the Children Trust. In 2012/13 a decision will be taken on
whether to reinstate the Children Trust.

The overall web traffic to the LSCB website was 42,964 page views and 37,531 unique
visitors (a 32% increase on 2010-11 web traffic). Overall, traffic figures are increasing
steadily over time, although the 2009-10 figures maybe skewed by the media response in
May-June 2009.
The website had 37,531 unique visitors who spent an average of 1:49mins on each of our
web pages (not a bad figure for our type of content and 33% longer than on Haringey
Council external site).
Haringey LSCB asked other London SCBs to share their web statistics and from the couple of
responses received, our overall web page view traffic falls between two (100%) and seven
times (700%) greater.

SECTION 3 - THE WORK OF THE SUB GROUPS, WORKING GROUPS
AND SAFEGUARDING FORUMS
The key aim of the work of LSCB sub groups and working groups as it responds to
national expectations and local need is to impact on local arrangements and outcomes for
children. A summary of each sub work this year is detailed along with its
challenges/priorities as we go into the year 2012 -13.
LSCB SUB GROUPS
CHILD DEATH OVERVIEW PANEL (CDOP)
The CDOP continues to review the deaths of all children who reside in the borough. This has
been a statutory responsibility of Haringey LSCB since April 2008. The purpose of this
process is to learn lessons in order to improve the health, safety and well being of children
and ultimately, hopefully, to prevent further such child deaths in the future.
During the year, there were three panel meetings and, in addition, six smaller rapid
response meetings relating to five specific cases.
Notified cases - In 2011/12 there were 25 deaths notified, however only five of these were
closed as more information was required for the remainder. This was mainly from hospitals,
but there were also a number of inquests pending. The postponement of the CDOP meeting
due to take place in Q4 also reduced the numbers of cases closed.
13 of the children were male and 12 female. 10 babies died within 28 days of birth and
another 8 before their first birthday. The majority of infants died because they were very
premature (six) or had lethal congenital anomalies (six). In the second half of the period,
there were four cases where the provisional cause of death is sudden unexplained death in
infancy (SUDI), but none have yet been closed.
Gender of children who died
Male 13
Female 12
Page 89
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
None of these children were looked after or subject to child protection plans or any legal
orders and none resulted in a serious case review.
Closed cases - During the 12 months, 10 cases were closed - five from 2010/11 and five from
2011/12. Of these:
four were directly related to prematurity
one child had multiple disabilities
one child a malignancy
one child with multiple disabilities and a possible immunodeficiency died of an
overwhelming infection and
three died as passengers in a road traffic accident (RTA) abroad.
Apart from the deaths related to the RTA, none were felt to have avoidable factors.
However, not having access to the police investigation into the RTA, it is not possible to
comment.
Additional information - This year has seen the addition of a neonatologist to the panel and
this has made discussions about neonatal cases more informative. The panel is also
indebted to the work of the SPOC without whom the panel would not be able to function.
CDOP CHALLENGES/PRIORITIES:
Closure of cases
o It is still proving difficult to close cases. Due to awaiting inquest reports, this
can be unavoidable; however it is still not always easy to obtain copies of
internal hospital reports into cases. Communication with the coroner has
improved.
o The demise of the CEMACH process has meant that information obtained has
not always been adequate. Modifications have been made to data collection
forms to help.
o This year five deaths occurred abroad. Detailed information has not been
available on these, making comments about avoidability almost impossible.
This is a national problem with no easy solution.
Page 90
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
Learning from child deaths
o A report, encompassing the experience of the panel from inception, will be
prepared later in the year. This will comprise over 140 cases and allow a
more detailed analysis to be made.
QUALITY ASSURANCE SUB GROUP
The Quality Assurance sub group met 7 times this year. At the beginning of the year the
group agreed the name of the group and its remit, changing from the Quality Assurance and
practice review to the Quality Assurance sub group. During this period the group has
focused on developing its quality assurance framework by producing and implementing a
multi-agency score card which is cross referenced with the local data set. This score card
aims to focus the group and enable them to look at how well the partnership is doing. An
area the score card helped the group is to look at the need to recognise from cases referred
to MARAC re: children and young people and domestic violence, the importance of
differentiating between adolescent domestic violence and the impact of DV for children.
The commissioning of an independent person to undertake a Section 11 audit was agreed in
the absence of a Business manager. The remit was to look at the 8 standards including
recommendations specific to Haringey. This audit is being undertaken in 2 phases, using
both strategic and case file audit with a multi-agency assessment team. This audit will be
concluded later in 2012 and findings will be included in the 2012/13 annual report.
Also, the group actioned a review of disabled children subject to child protection plans, the
outcome of this review will also

Gathering evidence of engaging children, young people specifically the experiences of
families receiving support
Engaging the voluntary sector
Developing an audit cycle to include single-agency audits
SERIOUS CASE REVIEW SUB GROUP
The SCR sub group met 5 times this year. The key focus of the group is to decide on whether to
commission a review and to ensure action plans are implanted. During this year no new SCRs were
commissioned, although it was agreed in January 2011, that as part of the London SCIE pilot a review
would take place using the systems methodology. This review concluded at the end of the year and
raised the issue of agencies identification and response to Neglect. The findings of this review will be
included in this business plan and the main focus of the LSCBs October safeguarding
conference.
The group is aware of the proposed changes to the SCR process expected to be included in the
Working Together consultation in the Spring 2012.
SERIOUS CASE REVIEW CHALLENGES/PRIORITIES:
Supporting and monitoring the implementation of recommendations from reviews
Responding to proposed changes in undertaking serious case reviews
BEST PRACTICE DELIVERY SUB GROUP
The Best practice delivery sub group met five times over the year and in September 2011
Karen Baggaley, Designated Nurse became the new chair. The Best Practice Group aims to
improve practice across all services working with children from learning from reviews. This
year s work has included:
The group reviewing their Terms of Reference
Completion and review of three audits

TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS SUB GROUP
-agency training programme is substantial relative to that of our
counterparts -day child protection
courses is 31 courses per year compared to our 53. It was anticipated that numbers would
fall because of the levels of uncertainty and reductions in the work force in this past
financial year, however, there continues to be a high demand for training.
The LSCB multi-agency training team demand has continued to increase in 2011-12, with
just under a thousand applications (n=966) received and processed, 73% or 701 of whom
were trained over 16 core courses over fifty three (53) sessions with eleven (11) agency
groups attending.
The 2010-11 training programme saw an increase of 19% in courses offered and a total 42%
rise in the number of courses offered in the past three years but only a 23% increase in the
number of learners.
In 2011-12, 75% of those offered places on courses in 2011-12 attended the course offered.
This means that a quarter (25%) of all confirmed applicants failed to attend. This high level
of non-attendance significantly affects the value for money of our training programme. Non-
attendance remains at a similar rate to 2010-11, which was 26%.
These non-attendance figures are particularly high in relation to certain courses. For
example, the Introduction course attendance rate is 62% (non-attendance: 38%) in 2011-
12. Perhaps this can be explained because all new starters in Groups B and C are sent
Page 93
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
invitations to attend the Introduction as part of their multi-agency safeguarding induction to
Haringey.
Other particularly poorly attended courses, falling to 60% attendance and lower, are:
Child Protection Conferences with 60% attendance (40% non-attendance)
The Safety of the Disabled Child with 46% attendance (54% non-attendance)
Due to these high levels of non-attendance, and in consultations with other London
boroughs who have experienced and since resolved similar problems with non-attendance,
the Training & Development Subgroup has decided to begin charging for non-attendance at
courses beginning September 2012.
The aim of charging is to act as incentive to attend and to ensure that we are using our
training resources as effectively as possible

There was further 13% increase in attendance by early staff as compared to 2010-11
and total of 23% increase over three years, following a drive to increase training rates for
early settings following low referral rates from early years and childminders.

courses. This gives training a feel for local issues and services, encourages networking across
the services, and gives our trainers an opportunity to develop their skills.
-agency courses are delivered either using internal trainers or the
Training Officer. Combined, internal trainers and the Training Officer delivered 85% of our
training courses and trained 597 learners (85% of the total number of people trained).
TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS SUB GROUPCHALLENGES/PRIORITIES:
Trainers for Schools
o A gap has been identified in the access to LA-provided CP Training for
Schools due to reorganisation of roles over recent years. In order to
support schools to fulfil their whole-school training requirement,
Haringey LSCB has circulated a list of recommended trainers including
independent trainers and a number of Haringey Council trainers who
can be booked, subject to availability. In addition, designated teachers
for child protection are encourage

terms of reference for the sub group were devised.
Senior managers from partner agencies (Police, Health, Education and Social
Services) have been tasked to create a business plan for each agency to meet its
commitments, providing actions to meet the plan objectives.
Victim identification and care is the key initial outcome for all agencies. To ensure
that this point is addressed multi-agency awareness training for stakeholders has
been organised.
Haringey has been volunteered to be a pilot site for Operation Vallonia (MPS CSE
initiative) to demonstrate our good practice.
The progress of the business plan, for all agencies, is on schedule. The aim of early
intervention with a multi-agency approach is that it will reduce offences and missing
enquiries. Vallonia will commence in late June 2012 and is likely to provide
investigative links for Operation Valiant to target gang culture and the use of sexual offences
as a weapon.

DISABLED CHILDRENS POLICY AND PRACTICE REVIEW GROUP
The Disabled children s policy and practice review groups purpose is to:
Review local and national policy and procedures for the safeguarding and promotion
of the welfare of disabled children in the Haringey area.

Ensure that policies are up to date and fit for purpose
The group reports into the Quality Assurance sub group. Over the year work has
commenced on compiling an understanding of the factors that relate to the identification
and then the investigation of abuse of disabled children. As a result a number of actions
have taken place including joint training between CAIT and disabled children team social
worker and child protection supervision is now being offered to the therapist that work with
disabled children.
SAFEGUARDING FORUMS
This year Haringey LSCB has continued supporting and co-ordinating the safeguarding
forums. These forums aim to share information and to respond to safeguarding issues that
particularly affect Schools and Children centres.
DESIGNATED TEACHERS FORUM
A specialist forum for designated child protection leads in primary and secondary schools
has been running throughout the year. The aim of the forum is to enable designated
teachers to access information on changes in child care law, procedure and research, to
provide access to the Heads for Service for First Response/ Safeguarding and Support/
education welfare and also to access to peer support. Forums are held every half term.
Initially separate primary and secondary meetings were held. These were amalgamated
from July 2011 to increase participation.
Topics covered in 2011/12 have included:
feedback and learning from Serious Case Reviews;
Page 98
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13

Raising Awareness - There was an advertising campaign being run which consisted of JC
Decaux posters across the borough, as well as posters and leaflets available in public
buildings i.e. Libraries, community centres.
In the first two years of setting up the Private fostering team, there was a plan for raising
awareness, through talks to professionals and holding public meetings, having stalls at
community events and mail outs to local schools and GP surgeries. This was fruitful, in that
over this period the team were notified of 47 Private fostering arrangements.
Awareness raising 2006 2009 was extensive and resulted in a high number of notifications.
More recently in 2011 the private fostering arrangements figures have not totalled more
than 28 at any one time. The figure of 47 notifications has not been reached again. Minimal
awareness raising does appear to have had an impact on notifications.
The awareness campaign takes place in January each year, the notifications for February
2012 was showing an increase from the average of approx 2 each month. The highest
number of notifications received for the year was in February. It can be assumed that
awareness raising does encourage notifications.
Page 101
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
Decrease in numbers is usually due to;
a) children reaching 16years and no longer privately fostered
b) moving to another borough
c) private foster carer seeking SGO
d) moving back to parent(s)
Present Work -In late 2010 and early 2011 the manger and workers in the Private fostering
team moved on. As the fostering service was due to be restructured, it was decided that
rather than having a specialist private fostering team, that this work should be integrated
into the new structure with private fostering cases allocated across the service.
The restructure should be complete by September 2012. Therefore, there have been limited
developments however; this work will be further developed within the new structure.
PRIVATE FOSTERING CHALLENGES/PRIORITIES 2011/12:

LICENSING AND GAMBLING
The licensing objective of the protection of children from harm is a constant consideration
on all applications received under the Licensing Act 2003. Here in Haringey the Police
currently continue to make comments that relate to age verification on the applications, as
well as ensuring that CRB checked people will operate any lost children areas at proposed
large events.
For the year there were 66 licensing applications made of which 48 were new. There were 6
gambling applications of which 3 were new.
HARINGEY MISS U PROJECT
As part of Railway work with its corporate partner Aviva, a £300,000
investment over the next three years will extend the existing Miss U service to Haringey as
well as Camden and Islington. This is a multi-agency approach between Railway Children,
The service works to raise awareness about the risks of running away for children who go
missing from home or care through preventative education in schools, interventions and
group work. The service will provide direct support to young people and families affected by
instances of running away.

organisations will focus on children and young people living at home and those looked after

of being based in the Screening Time is the access the worker has to colleagues from a range
of other services, which allows the worker to gain a detailed knowledge of children and
young people prior to any interventions being planned and implemented.
The number of children and young people who are reported to the Police as missing varies
each month and the level of concern also varies.
Page 103
Haringey Local Safeguarding Children Board, Annual Report 2011-12 and Business Plan 2012-13
In the two months November to December 2011, there were 49 children and young people

Of these children and young people, some had a history of being reported missing and some
were young people who were late returning home and it was a one off incident.

ALLEGATIONS AGAINST PROFESSIONALS
During the reporting period of this annual report it is noted that there is a decrease in actual
allegations but an increase in enquiries about potential allegations. It would seem that
more heads of schools, managers and designated officers are better informed about the
LADO role and the need to consult when potential allegations are made. More often than
enquiry and or indeed is not an allegation, but more of a complaint, which is channelled to
the appropriate department.
A Total of 87 allegations were recorded on the allegation data base, this does not include a
large number of referrals that have been dealt with as Single agency investigation and are
deemed to be low level cases that have not met the threshold to be classed as a serious
allegation against a professional.

The ethnicities of the children, the majority of alleged victims are in the White British
category.
However if we look at the break down of those from Black and Minority groups and add
them together it would appear that the larger numbers of alleged victims are from Black

In the past year the LADO has been called upon on two occasions to attend disciplinary
hearings where allegations of child abuse by a professional was found to be substantiated.
The LADO role also consists of offering consultation and guidance to the various social work
teams, schools and other child care settings.
This year we have seen a significant increase in enquiries about churches and those who
minister others in the community. There have been a number of cases involving children
who have been accused of possessing evil spirits, either by a parent or someone at the
church. The LADO has supported social workers on visits to churches and pastors in order to
address such issues.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
The role of the Training and Community Partnership Officer (TaCPO) is carried out by the
LADO and consist of offering basic child protection training to community groups, faith
groups, and schools, nurseries and sports establishments.
The TaCPO also offers guidance and advice in relation to policy and procedures within the
above named groups.
Faith and Community group - As part of the ongoing work by the TaCPO to ensure that the

developed to attempt to engage leaders of faith and community groups in working in
partnership with the local authority in keeping children safe. Four meetings have been held
to try and bring the community and faith groups together. This is a multi faith group and
community group who are now in the process of establishing a chair for this group and a
community groups who are trained up in child protection and related issues and are willing
to work alongside professionals in order to offer their community knowledge as
consultation and cascade child protection issues within their own communities.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGE/PRIORITIES:
Improve engagement of multi-faith community groups through;
o Supporting the multi faith community groups to establish an identity of their
own before more professionals get involved.
o The future plan is to include the Child Abuse Investigation Team into this
meeting and other relevant professionals such as domestic violence and no
recourse to public funds

Purpose: To brief members of the Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board (sHWB) on Haringey’s response to the Winterbourne View Report1.
Summary Sir David Nicholson (NHS Chief Executive) and Shaun Gallagher (Acting Director General Social Care); wrote2 to Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs) and Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) Chief Executives on the 10th December about the programme of action set out in the Department of Health’s Report into events at Winterbourne View. A number of actions have to be completed by 31 March 2013. PCT Cluster Chief Executives and SHAs are responsible for delivery of these actions. Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are expected to pick up responsibility from April 2013. To meet the requirements of Sir David Nicholson’s letter of 28 November 2012 and the Winterbourne View Concordat Programme of Action3 of December 2012; a number of key tasks have been identified as follows:
• Development of a comprehensive register of all health funded people with learning disabilities and autism by 21 February 2013.
• Complete reviews of all people in learning disability or autism inpatient beds and to agree a personal care plan for each individual based on their and their families’ needs and agreed outcomes.
• Reviews to include the following :
o A personalised care plan o Evidence of engagement and agreement with families and
carers o A discharge plan (including estimated discharge date) o A named care co-ordinator o An identified lead CCG o Date of a comprehensive physical health check
• By June 2014 alternative, community based care arrangements to be in place for all people who do not need a hospital placement;

• Independent advocacy to be put in place for people not yet ready to move in order to quality assure and monitor current provision;
• Identified independent advocacy to support the move for those people that are moving; and
• Commissioners to plan for local high quality care for people who are able to move back to their local community;
Haringey’s Response The Winterbourne View Report has been discussed and key messages disseminated through Adult Social Care, commissioned organisations and also NHS Commissioning. The report will have a profound effect on the future commissioning and delivery of care for people with learning disabilities who require health and social care support. The following actions have been carried out:
• Discussed response at the Learning Disabilities Executive, Safeguarding Adults Board, and Learning Disability Partnership board as well as full and formal discussion in all service meetings. Following on from this will be the embedding of key findings/policy and suggested improvements into our practice, safeguarding and commissioning plans.
• An action plan (see Appendix 1) has been developed in response to Winterbourne View;
• A project team made up of health and social care staff has been set up to manage the review and move on options for people;
• It has been agreed that the CCG and the Local Authority will jointly review all current placements by June 2013;
• Arrangement will be made for everyone who is in hospital inappropriately to move to community based support as quickly as possible and no later than June 2014;
• In Haringey, it is further proposed that once all reviews are completed by June 2013 outcomes will be presented at a consultation event to which Multi-agency Safeguarding Adult Board Partnerships and partner agencies will come together and focus on strategic and front line response to the outcomes of the review. Each partner agency will be tasked to identify outcome measures, and performance improvements which will then be reported on at subsequent Safeguarding Adult Board meetings.
The Winterbourne View Review has resulted in a Concordat between
Commissioners and providers of health care and Local Government
Agencies. The Concordat is a commitment to change and improve services
delivered to people with challenging behaviour.

approach has for sometime recognised the need for change and has in
recognition developed a number of work streams that will fit seamlessly with
the approach, vision, mandate and commitments published in the
Winterbourne View Review.
People who use services, family carers, advocates, service providers and a
wide range of professionals’ from multi disciplinary backgrounds have been
and are invited to participate in Adult Social Care’s service reviews and
commissioning and procurement processes many of which are currently
organised and used to promote the return of people placed in residential
services outside the London Borough of Haringey.
It is an aim within Adult Social Care that family carers participate in reviews,
work with multi agency review teams in making recommendations and with
people who use services to help commission and remodel service provision
within Haringey.
The focus of much of this work has been organised into work streams that
includes safeguarding, service redesign, transforming care, promoting
independence, choice and the de-commissioning of poor performing services
and re-commissioning of high-quality, well specified service provision .
To ensure the existing work commitments, strategy and commissioning plans
seamlessly combine with and complement the vision and aims stated in the
Concordat, a work plan has been drafted that accounts for all the existing
work commitments and key actions identified in the Concordat.

HLDP Winterbourne Response Action Plan
Haringey Council’s Adult Social Care Response to the Winterbourne View Review
Programme of Action and Work Planning
Introduction
In response to the recently published Winterbourne View Review (Concordat:
Programme of Action, December 2012) and in line with the existing commissioning
work streams and planned redesign of services’ in Haringey, a single over
overarching work plan has been developed.
It is also intended that the attached work plan merges the Councils’ existing work
commitments and planned intentions regarding how and in what form services will be
delivered to Adults with a Learning Disability and people who challenge services in
the future.
Winterbourne View Review
The Winterbourne View Review has resulted in a Concordat between commissioners
and providers of health care and Local Government agencies.
The Concordat is a commitment to change and improve services delivered to people
with challenging behaviour. The document sets out its vision for a whole systems
change by stating:
‘All parts of the system –commissioner, providers, the workforce, regulators
government, all agencies, councils and providers, the NHS and the police - have a
role to play in driving up standards for this group of people. There should be zero
tolerance of abuse or neglect.’ (DH Winterbourne View Review: Concordat: Programme of Action 2012)
The signatories of this Concordat have committed to a mandate that requires a
complete commitment to joint working, which is drafted in the Concordat as:
‘We commit to working together, with individuals and their families and with the
groups that represent them, to deliver real change.’ (DH Winterbourne View Review: Concordat: Programme of Action 2012)
This vision and mandate for change is support by a list of key actions and
commitments that the signatory’s will be monitored and measured against.

Meeting: Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board Date: 26th February Report Title: Bringing the HWB and Community Safety Partnership together to focus on alcohol-related violence in the borough Report of: Jeanelle de Gruchy, Director of Public Health
Purpose To bring together members of the Health and Well Being and Community Safety Partnership Boards to discuss and examine:
• What is known about alcohol-related violence in the borough (presentation)
• What are the gaps in our knowledge?
• What are we doing about alcohol related violence?
• Who needs to be involved in tackling this issue
• What more could we be doing? It is proposed that the focus of the session be on preventing and responding alcohol related violence and in particular domestic and sexual violence which is strongly associated with alcohol and a concern at a regional and local level. Summary Violence is strongly related to health inequalities with the poorest fifth of society suffering five times the rate of hospital admissions due to violence compared to the most affluent fifth1 .Alcohol is a risk factor in many different types of violence, including domestic violence, child abuse, sexual violence, youth violence and elder abuse. About half of all violence is thought to be committed by individuals who are under the influence of alcohol2. Preventing violence and/or dealing with alcohol related violence is both a public health and community safety issue. The move of Public Health into the local authority, the addition of violence related indicators to the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) and the creation of the HWBB present both the opportunity and the impetus to address this issue more effectively. The session may also facilitate the closer alignment of the respective board’s strategies and action plans and make better use of resources in the broadest sense.
Legal/Financial Implications N/A
Recommendations • The HWBB are asked to consider this proposal
• To confirm if they agree with the focus and or/suggest a different focus
• On the basis of this a draft programme will be put together for agreement by the Board and a subsequent date will be set for a session in the summer.

Meeting: Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board Date: 26th February 2013 Report Title: Commissioning Strategy Plan and Operating Plan
2013/14 Report of: Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group
Purpose To share the Commissioning Strategy Plan (CSP) and year one operational delivery of the plan i.e. the Operating Plan to facilitate shared agreement of the Strategic Overview and Local Priorities.
Summary This paper/presentation provides an overview of the CSP and key priorities for delivery based on national planning guidance and alignment to the NHS Outcomes Framework. The Operating Plan provides more detail of how the CCG will deliver the CSP and its commitments to the Mandate and NHS Constitution within the 2013/14 financial year. The CCG is also required to identify 3 local priorities for which measurable improvement in performance during 2013/14 will result in a “quality premium” payment. The three local priorities are to be agreed with the Shadow HWBB. This paper will summarise how the CCG plans to meet these commitments and work in partnership with the HWBB to address key shared, agreed local priorities & reduce health inequalities.
Legal/Financial Implications The financial implications for the CCG are associated with the 2013/14 allocation and associated running cost reduction. Financial risks are also associated with agreement of 2013/14 provider contracts, ability to deliver in year planned savings as identified in the QIPP programme and potential for acute provider over-performance.
Recommendations The Shadow Health and Well Being Board is asked to:
• Note the Strategic overview for Haringey CCG i.e. the CSP
• Note the Operating Plan priorities and commitments to the Mandate & NHS Constitution
• Discuss and agree three local priorities for delivery in 2013/14

HARINGEY CCG EQUALITY DELIVERY SYSTEM OBJECTIVES 2013/14 1. INTRODUCTION
Haringey CCG’s Equality Diversity and Human Rights Strategy, which was approved by the CCG’s Governing Body meeting on 18 October 2012, sets out the CCG’s approach to promoting equality and diversity and how it will meet its Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED).
The CCG is committed to promoting equality, diversity and human rights for service users and our staff and to involve local people in the continuing development and monitoring of this strategy to ensure that we commission the right health care services, provide well-trained staff to deliver, and ensure our providers meet the equality duties set out in the Equality Act 2010 and promote people’s rights. The CCG’s commitment to eliminate discrimination and health inequalities is embodied by our vision of “enabling the people of Haringey to live long and healthy lives with access to fair, well co-ordinated and high quality services” and our aim to “promote wellbeing, reduce health inequalities and improve health outcomes for local people.” Underpinning the above, the CCG’s Patient and Public Engagement Strategy will play a key part in improving the way that it works with patients, carers and the public to listen to their views and involves them in decisions about commissioning and developing and improving health services.
2. EQUALITY DELIVERY SYSTEM (EDS) OBJECTIVES
Through the adoption of the NHS Equality Delivery System (EDS) the CCG aims to demonstrate to the people we serve how we are meeting the aims of the PSED. The CCG has therefore developed a four year strategy, with an accompanying draft action plan, based on proposed EDS objectives. These draft objectives are:
• Introduce robust governance structures and the EDS assurance framework
• Build strong relationships with diverse groups and communities to understand their needs, priorities and experiences
• Commission targeted prevention, early intervention and self-management programmes
• Improve access to and provide a patient-centred approach to delivering primary and community services
• Develop an inclusive working culture which values diversity and supports staff to feel confident to challenge any harassment, bullying or perceived victimisation
More details on these objectives are contained in Appendix one.
Page 169

The action plan and objectives will be reviewed annually and the objectives updated to reflect new and emerging issues.
3. PRIORITISING EDS OBJECTIVES FOR 2013/13
To help to determine how the CCG’s proposed objectives should best be prioritised for 2013/14, members of Haringey LINk were invited to provide feedback on their respective importance at this stage of the CCG’s organisational development. In addition to writing to LINk members, details of the proposed EDS objectives and how people could respond were also placed on the LINk and CCG websites in January 2013. Respondents were asked to prioritise the first four proposed objectives as the fifth one (to develop an inclusive working culture) is essentially an internal objective which the CCG is already committed to taking forward.
4. RESPONSES FROM LINk MEMBERS
Four responses were received, as follows.
4.1 Joanna Bornat, LINk member
All of the proposed EDS objectives were considered as being equally valid and therefore no preference was expressed for their prioritisation.
However, a number of general comments were made. Scepticism was expressed about the meaningfulness of 'robust governance structures' if the CCG Governing Body meets in public, rather than as a public meeting; More detail was sought about how equality issues will be monitored by local people and how the structure will work from patient level upwards and downwards to patients and their GPs, especially when there are difficult financial choices to be made. The perceived current uncertainty about what kind of Healthwatch body will replace LINk was also highlighted as an issue.
4.2 Lloyda Fanusie, LINk Board Member
It was advocated that the proposed objectives should be prioritised in descending order as follows:
• Introduce robust governance structures and the Equality Delivery System equality assurance framework
• Build strong relationships with diverse groups and communities to understand their needs, priorities and experiences.
• Improve access to and provide a patient-centred approach to delivering primary and community services
• Commission targeted prevention, early intervention and self-management programmes.
Page 170
5
The following feedback was also provided:
• The CCG should actively seek the participation of all people with varied needs, including people who act as advocates on behalf of others
• The CCG should avoid being dogmatic about its definitions of ‘easy’ and ‘hard to reach’ groups, as individuals within these are not homogenous. By the same token, generalising about the divide between the east and west of the borough can often camouflage a more nuanced reality
• When considering targeted prevention schemes, the CCG should particularly aim to identify and reach people who are ‘lost’ in the system
• As resources are finite, it is imperative that time and effort are not wasted on duplicating activity
• Consideration should be given to more ‘peer to peer’ research about access issues, on the basis that this will be more productive
• Staff training should not only be delivered by accredited organisations, as valuable perspectives can also be provided by trainers who have qualified from “the university of life”
• The value and importance of equality in diversity, with a strong focus on flexibility should be reinforced.
4.3 Mhairi McGhee, Haringey Disability First Consortium (DFC)
Consortium members believed that the primary priority should be to “build strong relationships with diverse groups and communities to understand their needs, priorities and experiences” with particular focus on the following associated actions:
• Proactively engage[ing] with service users and residents in areas of high deprivation
• Engaging with locally excluded groups and communities [and] develop[ing] appropriate communications and engagement plans that recognise the value of community feedback
• Using technology and techniques best suited to different population groups.
The CCG was also asked to note that the majority of DFC’s membership does not use computers as a means of communication. Non-disabled service users from marginalised and deprived groups also find that new media do not provide genuine engagement due to the financial and practical constraints of using shared resources (e.g. computers in the library or college) and prohibitive costs of consumables (e.g. the costs of printing, broadband, programme/hardware updates). The CCG was therefore urged not to rely on new media or to consider it a panacea, as it often reinforces inequalities rather than removing those structural barriers.

4.4 Nuala Kiely, Haringey User Network (HUN) coordinator
The fact that the proposed EDS directives are closely linked to the current Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy outcome 3 was welcomed as confirmation that there is local partnership working towards a common aim of improving the well-being of Haringey residents.
4.5 General comments
The DFC and HUN both expressed disappointment that they had not had more time to engage with their members before responding. The DFC also requested that future information is provided in plain English in accordance with Haringey Learning Disabilities Partnership guidance, to ensure that it is accessible.
5. PRIORITISATION OF OBJECTIVES
Feedback from respondents indicated either a preference for the first two objectives (ie to Introduce robust governance structures and to build strong relationships with diverse groups and communities), or an acceptance of the objectives in their totality.
In light of this response and the CCG’s current stage of organisational
development, the CCG will therefore implement these following objectives in 2013/14:
• Introduce robust governance structures and the Equality Delivery System equality assurance framework
• Build strong relationships with diverse groups and communities to understand their needs, priorities and experiences.
• Develop an inclusive working culture which values diversity and supports staff to feel confident to challenge any harassment, bullying or perceived victimisation
As stated earlier, the third objective is one which the CCG is already
committed to taking forward. Progress against these objectives will be reported at future Health and
Wellbeing Board meetings. 6. CCG RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS The CCG has been in a transitional phase and it acknowledges that its
patient and public engagement with the local community is something which needs to be strengthened, particularly those who have historically been less engaged. We will work with patient groups, Healthwatch, HAVCO and local voluntary, faith and community groups to achieve this. In order to embed this within the organisation, we have developed a Patient and Public Engagement Strategy which we will shortly be consulting on.
Page 172

Due regard will be given to ensuring that communications material is accessible and is made available in appropriate formats for different audiences.
The CCG’s equality performance will be graded by stakeholders on an annual basis, against specific Equality Delivery System outcomes and we are currently in the process of arranging this meeting with LINk.
An Equalities and Diversity Annual Report will be published to
demonstrate our achievements over the previous 12 months.
Going forward, we will also ensure that future engagement on our EDS objectives is carried out in a more timely fashion.
7. CONCLUSION
As a relatively new, developing organisation Haringey CCG is committed to promoting the principles of equality, diversity and human rights for service users and our staff and will work closely with our stakeholders in the future to ensure that our equality objectives help to deliver this in a meaningful way.
