RESOLVED – That Cabinet approved and
adopted the final draft of the Derbyshire-wide policy (Safeguarding
Policy and Procedures, Protecting Children and Adults at
Risk).
 
REASONS FOR DECISION – The
Derbyshire-wide policy will subsequently replace the current Adult
and Child Safeguarding policies. The Policy complies with
legislation and provides a framework for Safeguarding.
 

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED –  Not  adopting
the Derbyshire-wide policy and continuing to have two policies in
place was considered but rejected, as the partnership approach
provides consistency across Derbyshire for Safeguarding.
 

 
Please note
that this was not a Key Decision so can be implemented by officers
with immediate effect.
