 Operation Sanctuary – Extraordinary Meeting
The report is due to be published on Friday 23 February. Once published a
meeting will take place with representatives from the Children’s Sub-Groups
from North and South of the Tees to look at how to address the report and
identify areas where work is required

 Regional procurement of SAR reviewers
The North East Region is looking to implement a dynamic purchasing
system as a long term solution to enable Safeguarding Adults Boards to
access Independent Reviewers. South Tyneside Council are leading on the
project. Scoping took place in late 2017 whereby LAs were asked to submit
information regarding the number of DHRs and SARs that have taken place.
Information received suggested that there is not a high demand for
reviewers and the market is under developed. LG explained that a form was
issued to each LA area asking for their commitment to participate. Forms
were not received from two of the LAs. LG noted that the forms to be
completed were sent to the procurement leads and not the safeguarding
leads, therefore may not have reached their intended destination for
completion. LG advised should HBC and RCBC have difficulties in finding
their forms to contact her directly.

The new framework will not be in place until September 2018 and LG will
keep the Board informed of the progress.
