At the invitation of the Executive Mayor, the Council’sCorporate Director for Children, Young People and Education, Debbie Jones, introduced the report on behalf of the Local Authority (and as one of the CSCP Executive Partners).

Ms Jones said that Croydon had largest population of young people in London.  She said that whilst she had been very privileged to have chaired the partnership, there was no room for complacency about safeguarding children and young people.  She went on to say that following a review of the CSPC’s effectiveness, it was found that arrangements in Croydon were “robust and secure”. 

The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education said that it was a very good and very clear report that set out the improvements that had been done and she had been pleased to see a review into Croydon’s own work had been commissioned.

The Executive Mayor, in Cabinet, RESOLVED that:

1.            the Croydon Safeguarding Children Partnership (CSCP) Annual Report for 2021-22, be noted; and

2.            the matter that the report provided robust evidence of the impact of the CSCP’s activity to improve outcomes for children and families, also be noted.
