 Medication Incidents – Guidance for Providers (for approval)
Following the meeting in December the suggested amendments have been
made to the Medication Incidents – Guidance for Providers document. AW
asked for the document to be ratified by members. Jean Pegg (JP)
highlighted that a couple of minor amendments are required within section

Board agreed to the ratification of the guidance.

Operational Leads - Lorraine Garbutt
The Operational Leads Sub-Group (OLSG) met on 18 January 2018.
 Discussions were held regarding the number of cases involving vulnerable
people that do not meet the thresholds to progress to the Crown Prosecution
Service (CPS). LG explained that further analysis is being carried out in the
area between the Business Unit and Cleveland Police. Following the
analysis a suggestion was made for CPS to attend a Board meeting in the
future. ES welcomed further analysis to be conducted. AMS explained that
the CPS does have a challenge process which Cleveland Police use
regularly. A scrutiny process is also in place.
 The agenda for the OLSG Development Day will be similar to that of Board’s
Development Day with a focus on operational issues. Views will also be
taken from the group in relation to the Boards Strategic Plan.

 Survey
A survey has been developed to gain feedback from front line staff within
each Local Authority and the Health Trusts to ascertain from their
perspective, what works well, and what could be improved. There have been
a number of technical difficulties with the survey however this has been
picked up with Stockton Borough Council (SBC). Feedback on the results is
due to be cascaded at the OLSG Development Day in March.

CONFIDENTIAL
Safeguarding Adults Review – Jill Harrison
The SAR Sub-Group met on 15 January 2018
In the absence of Helen Smithies (HS), JH provided the following update:

 Terms of Reference (Review)
Due to the volume and complexity of work being discussed by the sub-
group, a suggestion has been put forward that the ToR are reviewed to
ensure that all LAs are represented. Under current arrangements the sub-
group only has representation from two LAs. Members agreed to broaden
and extend the membership of the group.

 SAR3 Action Plan
The format of the SAR3 Action Plan is being reviewed to simplify the
monitoring of progress against the plan. It is anticipated that each
organisation will be provided with an individual action plan. It has been
suggested that a separate SAR 3 monitoring meeting is held on a bi-monthly
basis (alternate months to SAR meetings) until the action plan is complete;
all relevant partners will be expected to attend. If this is agreed the first
meeting will be held on 9 April. Members were in agreement for this to take
place.
