Islands Safeguarding Children and Adults Partnership Annual Report 2021

The Islands Safeguarding Children and Adults Partnership (ISCAP) has published its annual report for 2021.

The purpose of the ISCAP (Islands Safeguarding Children and Adults Partnership) is to ensure agencies work well together to keep children and adults safe.

The 2021 report highlights the achievements of 2021.Quality Assurance is a key priority for the ISCAP and in 2021 a new Quality Assurance Framework which over time will enable us to take a more structured approach to reviewing the performance of the safeguarding system and undertake regular safeguarding audits.

Sarah Elliott, the Pan Island Independent Chair for the ISCAP, said:

"In preparation for publication of a Child Neglect Strategy, the annual ISCP/ISAP conference took place in November 2021 with a theme of neglect of adolescents and the impact of the pandemic on children. We were particularly pleased to hear directly from a young person from the island who shared their experience of being in care and what was important to them when accessing the support they needed. Despite needing to switch at short notice to a “virtual” event, the conference was very well attended and evaluated by 120 delegates..."

"2021 was the first full year of the new ISAP and saw the development of an adult safeguarding framework to ensure there is a consistent approach across all agencies to identifying and responding to adult safeguarding concerns. Although technically we have separate safeguarding partnerships for child and adult safeguarding, we are taking a joined-up approach and “think family” underpins all of our work"
