To Follow

Minutes:

This report is the conclusion of a review of services, and what actions should be carried out in the future to improve those services. The following comments were made

·       Stockport is effective in responding to incidents but  the focus on prevention and addressing behaviour requires improvement

·        Governance – The Troubled Families Steering group to become the strategic forum to monitor progress

·        We should be raising this as part of our workforce development. 

·       We need to build our evidence base on entrenched behaviours, target the right families, and carry out more work with perpetrators to improve behaviour

·        Perpetrators – we need to continue to campaign about  lack of resources for working with perpetrators

·       schools need to be more aware and can information be shared more easily

·        Could we better use social media to promote this amongst young people?

 

ACTION: CML to ensure that comments are reflected in the strategy.
