The Safe and Strong
Communities Select Committee is responsible for scrutiny of
safeguarding vulnerable people, community safety and localism. In
particular it will include priorities around:
·
Safeguarding children
·
Safeguarding vulnerable adults
·
The Council’s responsibilities regarding reducing crime and
the fear of crime and wider Community Safety priorities (referring
matters as appropriate to the Police and Crime Panel where
responsibility sits with the Police and Crime Commissioner).
There will be occasions when the committee
will undertake joint working with the Healthy Staffordshire Select
Committee especially in regard to safeguarding issues and the
Corporate Parenting Panel in respect of safeguarding children.
