Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Islington and are not the council. About us

The Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee of Islington Council is scheduled to consider reports on safeguarding, child protection, and performance data. The meeting will also include a review of the committee's work programme.

Islington Safeguarding Children Partnership Annual Report

A significant item on the agenda is the review of the Islington Safeguarding Children Partnership's Annual Report. This report is expected to provide an overview of the partnership's activities and performance over the past year. Safeguarding children is a key priority for Islington Council, and this report will likely detail the measures in place to protect young people from harm. The report covers pages 7-44 of the agenda documents.

Child Protection Annual Report

The committee is also scheduled to consider the Child Protection Annual Report. This report, which is to follow, will likely outline the council's approach to child protection services and any trends or issues identified.

Children and Young People Performance Report - Quarter 1 2026/27

The Children and Young People Performance Report for the first quarter of the 2026/27 financial year is also scheduled for discussion. This report, covering pages 45-88, will provide performance data relating to services for children and young people in Islington. It is anticipated that this report will highlight key performance indicators and any areas requiring attention.

Work Programme

The committee will also review its Work Programme, detailed on pages 89-90 of the agenda. This item will likely involve a discussion about the committee's planned activities and priorities for the coming period.
