A Tees MARAC Steering Group will be established from April 2018
to oversee the MARAC function and performance. This Group will
be attended by the Independent MARAC Operational Group Chair,
and will be Chaired on an annual rational basis by the Local Authority
Community Safety Representative. . SC confirmed that a nominated
individual would be a representative per service area on behalf of
other LAs: for Community Safety, Children’s Services, Adult Social
Care, Early Help, Troubled Families, Public Health. It was suggested
that communication surrounding this had not reached the correct
level and AW asked for further discussions outside of the meeting.

Concerns were raised regarding the frequency of the MARAC and the proposals
identified with regards to daily meetings. Assurance was given from AMS that the
Protecting Vulnerable People Unit (PVP) monitor cases on a daily basis and where
required speak to key agencies for updates. A suggestion was made for the
MARAC review report to be cited at the Operational Leads Sub-Group and a review
competed in 6 months to look at the effectiveness of the new model. The findings
will then be brought back to Board.
