Change in referral procedures

Replaced the following:

'

Where professional dissent occurs at a Child Protection Conference (CP Conference), the Independent CP Conference Chair will make a referral to SSCB Child Protection  Dissents (CP Dissents) Group for review. CP Dissents Group is a multi-agency audit group which reviews the conference reports, considers the nature of the dissent and evaluates the decision of the Chair.

The group meets on a monthly basis. The audit enables review of the individual agency’s contribution to the CP Meeting and the professional decision making. Feedback and  recommendations are made to the Chair and dissenting professional this includes the identification of key issues, themes and if appropriate recommends where changes are required to policies and procedures.

Where a dissent is upheld feedback is provided to the dissenting professional on the next steps and the decision making referred back to Surrey Children’s Service to investigate. The report and recommendations from this investigation are reviewed by the Head of Safeguarding and actions identified to hold a further Strategy Meeting.

CP Conference Dissents reports into the SSCB Quality Assurance and Evaluation Sub Group as well as the SSCB Operations Group.'

With:

'

In any situation where it becomes apparent that professionals disagree about the need or otherwise for Child Protection Plan, the relevant professionals, where possible, will discuss this before the conference.

When a conference does not reach a unanimous decision, the chair offers professionals the chance to debrief after the conference.

Where there is a strong difference of opinion, the chair would offer to meet with colleagues dissenting and a manager to explore the differences of opinion and seek a resolution.

Only where this discussion leaves professionals with major unease that they feel the conference decision MUST be revisited should they appeal to external parties to take an independent view. In this case, a request will be made to the Head of Safeguarding in Children's Services to convene a multi-agency group to which the Conference Chair and dissenting professionals will be invited in order to explore the disagreement further.'
