Decision details

In 2015 the Argyll and Bute Child Protection Committee commissioned WithScotland to undertake an independent review to consider if the Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) practice model and early intervention was impacting on child protection registration.  The results of this review which were considered and ratified by the Child Protection Committee on 5 November 2015 were now before the Committee for consideration.

Decision

The Committee agreed:-

1.    to note the findings of WithScotland’s study of child protection activity in Argyll and Bute Partnership;

2.    that WithScotland’s report be disseminated across the partnership; and

3.    that the key areas of improvement are taken forward by the Child Protection Committee and Argyll and Bute’s Children.
