Safeguarding Pressures Phase 3
At its annual policy seminar in February 2010, the ADCS Council of Reference agreed the importance of having analysis of recent, national data to evidence changes in safeguarding activity and commissioned research to evaluate the impact of increased safeguarding activities and budget pressures associated with those increases. The timing was particularly relevant given the heightened attention in both the sector and the public following the death of Peter Connelly in 2007.
Now just over two years on, local authorities continue to report further increases in safeguarding activity and associated pressures, and ADCS has commissioned further research (Phase 3) to update the evidence gathered in the first two phases in 2010, and to include a key focus on permanence. The aims are:
a) To identify what extent the trend of an increase in safeguarding activity has continued in England; what changes there have been in the past two years and what are the reasons for the change;
b) To provide analysis of the different permanency routes for children looked after.
