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.
