This issue was raised through the OL Sub-Group. Some Local Authorities were having difficulties
when asking other agencies to conduct a Section 42 Enquiry. There was some debate at the PPP
Sub-Group of whether to develop a Teeswide letter that formalises this request. Board Members
did not come to an agreement and felt that this needs further consideration. It was noted that this
may increase administration and may be to the detriment of those agencies who do carry out a
Section 42 Enquiry in a timely manner.

 Reviewed Terms of Reference (ToR) and Governance Arrangements
Section 5.2 has been changed to reflect the new deputy chair arrangements. Members approved
the reviewed ToR and Governance Arrangements.

 Reviewed Members Induction Pack
AB reminded members that the Induction Pack is available online for any new staff who become
involved within the Board’s structure and that it provides useful information about the Board and
Sub-Groups. Members approved the reviewed Induction Pack.

 Incidents between Residents Task & Finish Group
LG explained that the Incidents between Residents Task & Finish Group has been set up to help
reduce the number of inappropriate referrals into Safeguarding. The group have agreed to
consider producing a flowchart and brief guidance for care providers to ensure appropriate
Concerns are raised, a checklist for front of house teams to screen inappropriate Concerns, and
a useful hints and tips guide for care homes to prevent these incidents from occurring. The
Decision Support Guidance has also been amended to include more emphasis on incidents
between residents.

o Cleveland Police Referral Criteria
The referral criteria has been refreshed and includes updated contact numbers. The
criteria has been re-circulated via the Board’s newsletter and LG reiterated that there is
guidance on reporting incidents between residents to police.
