The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Officer - Integrated Children's Services, which presented the Aberdeen Child Protection Committee’s Annual report for 2018-19, in order to provide information and assurance. 

The report recommended:-

that the Committee:

(a)          note the content of the CPC’s Annual Report 2018-19, including the Child Protection Improvement Programme for 2019 – 2021;

(b)          note the positive impact and effectiveness of child protection improvement initiatives;

(c)          note the effective working across child protection; and

(d)          note the use of statistical information to inform practice and improvement initiatives relating to child protection.

The Committee received a brief overview of the report from Kymme Fraser, Programme Development Manager, and heard that this was the first presentation of the Aberdeen City Child Protection Committee Annual Report which was very welcome.

The report contained the current improvement programme and objectives, and, in that respect, remained a live document.
