Report CEF23016

 

The report provided an overview of the activity of the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) for the period April 2021 to January 2022 in managing allegations against people who worked or volunteered with children and were therefore in a position of trust.

 

In response to a question from the Chairman, the Head of Service Quality Improvement advised that whilst every effort was made to conclude LADO referrals as soon as possible, the complexity of allegations and/or need for criminal investigations to be undertaken by the Metropolitan Police could cause delays. 

 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
