uin	209054
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>The Government does not prescribe which multi-agency model local authorities should use to share information about children and their families. Approaches to organising contact, assessment and referral services in a local area are a matter for local authorities and their partners. The Department for Education does not monitor which approach each local authority uses. Ofsted monitors the effectiveness of local multi-agency information sharing arrangements under the single inspection framework.</p><p> </p><p>The Department does not collect data on the models used by local authorities to share information about safeguarding. However, the Home Office undertook a project to improve national and local understanding of the different local multi-agency models in place, and as part of this surveyed all local authorities. In 2013, responses were received from 63 of 152 local authority areas, 64% of which stated they had some kind of multi-agency model in operation. The ‘Multi-Agency Working and Information Sharing Project – Early Findings’ report, published July 2013, and the Final report, published in July 2014, gives examples of areas that use multi-agency safeguarding hubs and other multi-agency models. Both reports are published found online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/225012/MASH_Product.pdf" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/225012/MASH_Product.pdf</a></p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/multi-agency-working-and-information-sharing-project" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/multi-agency-working-and-information-sharing-project</a></p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson grouped question UIN 208999 question first answered 13/10/2014 16:09:15 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>As indicated in response to question 194096 (1 April 2014, column 629W), discussions at meetings of the national panel of independent experts on serious case reviews focus on cases put to the panel from local safeguarding children boards (LSCBs). The panel considers the points put forward by LSCBs about the application of the SCR criteria, the appointment of reviewers and the publication of SCR reports and agrees its response to each LSCB. These responses constitute the summary of discussions at the panel meetings. However, they cover sensitive material not in the public domain and could not therefore be routinely published. The panel recently published its first annual report which gives a summary of its first year of operation.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 13/10/2014 16:16:28 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
