confirm their compliance with the Care Act and are progressing work within their LA
                               area.

                               Decrease in QL52 flags update
                               Mark  Haworth  (MH)  provided  an  update  on  behalf  of  Ann-Marie  Salwey.  The
                               decrease in the number of crimes with a QL52 flag can be attributed to previous
                               miscoding of crimes.  Approximately 200 cases had previously been allocated to an
                               incorrect closure code.  Cleveland Police are aware of this issue and DS Suzanne
                               Mills  (SM)  is  working  to  establish  appropriate  codes  to  ensure  information  is
                               captured accurately.

                               TEWV Data Update
                               Karen Agar reported that around 90% of TEWV staff have received safeguarding
                               training.  The  decrease  in  the  number  of  contacts  reported  into  Safeguarding
                               suggests that the training is effective and staff are making appropriate decisions
                               when concerns are raised. TEWV will continue to monitor this.

                               Actions from Q3 Report
                               The Q3 Performance Report has been updated to incorporate feedback from the
                               previous TSAB meeting.  The performance leads from each LA have recently met
                               to review the data collection tables and to agree data submissions for 2018/19.

                               Data from CQC website
                               Angela Legg (AL) has reviewed the published data from the CQC website.  The
                               data is informative and will be incorporated into the End of Year Report and the
                               Annual Report. In future the information will be captured periodically in the quarterly
                               Performance Reports.  The End of Year Report will be available for consideration
                               at the September TSAB meeting.

                               MARAC Update
                               Fabienne Thompson (FT) provided an update on behalf of Sharon Caddell.  Lindsey
                               Eglington has been appointed as the Independent Chair for MARAC.  A copy of the
                               MARAC Review Report has been provided to the Business Unit for consideration
                               by the Operational Leads Sub-Group.  A review of the new MARAC model will be
                               conducted after a period of 12 months.

                               Elder Abuse
                               The Action on Elder Abuse Report was discussed at the February TSAB meeting
                               as part of the PAQ Sub-Group update.  Stephen McCarthy, the author of the report,
                               was invited to attend a future TSAB meeting in order to clarify some of the content
                               of the report.  He has responded to say that as they are London based this would
                               not  be  viable,  but  has  offered  to  respond  to  any  queries  by  email  or  Skype.
                               Members agreed not to progress this item further.

                               TSAB Development Day
                               The TSAB Development Day took place in March.  It was noted that there was
                               limited involvement from Chairs of other Boards and elected members (other than
                               SBC). AB advised that arrangements are being made to meet with other Board
                               members / Chairs to promote partnership working and shared priorities.

                               Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
                               MH advised that Cleveland Police have been allocated a bespoke CPS lawyer,
                               Charlotte Dennison, to review cases that Cleveland Police consider should have
                               progressed  through  the  CPS  to  prosecution.  This  reflects  the  arrangements
                               currently operating in North and South Yorkshire. MH provided information about
                               CPS success rates which may be impacting on the types of cases which do/do not
                               progress. Cleveland Police expect to see an increase in prosecutions as a result of
                                                                                                            3
