Safeguarding Introduce myself Mark Broom and Sean Channing Safeguarding is a priority for the MPS Area of business I’m passionate about Really pleased at the increased focus by the Met Believe the changes to our structure around safeguarding are a real step forward Will strengthen local ownership and understanding of all issues surrounding vulnerability, without the disconnect we can face between borough and central commands

Aims Manage Risk and Vulnerability effectively Holistic, Multi-agency approach Flexible, multi-skilled Safeguarding function Eliminate silos and duplication Focus on Prevention and Problem Solving We need a structure that helps us to identify and manage risk and vulnerability effectively With a holistic, co-ordinated, multi-agency approach We need a flexible, multi-skilled Safeguarding function; providing resilience and capable of adapting and responding to further change We need to eliminate inefficiencies and duplication caused by silo working Finally, we need to focus on prevention and problem solving This includes focusing on the needs of the victim and using a whole family approach to identify issues at an early stage It also includes improving our ability to identify repeat demand linked to mental health, and working with our partners to problem solve such cases

Key Changes Child Abuse and Rape Investigation Flexible, Multi-Disciplinary Teams CAIT Referrals and PCLO Function Mental Health Exploitation Child Abuse Investigation and Sapphire teams will no longer be part of a separate, central command They will work alongside the Community Safety Unit, which deals with Domestic Abuse, Elder Abuse and Hate Crime CAIT referrals and PCLOs are also coming to the BCU There is an increased focus on mental health And a wider approach to exploitation on both boroughs, focussing on both CSE and criminal exploitation, and highlighting the links to Missing Persons Bringing together specialist and local services means we will have a clear overview of abuse, vulnerability and sexual offences across Hackney and Tower Hamlets This will enable us to deal with safeguarding issues more holistically and effectively
