Voluntary Sector Contributes To a Positive HMIe Report
(17 May 2012) The Joint inspection of services to protect children and young people in the Dundee City Council area highlighted that one of three key strengths in making a difference to children and families in Dundee was the help and support provided through partnership working with voluntary organisations. Both Dundee Women’s Aid and Barnardo’s were named, within a range of services, as providing very helpful support to families affected by domestic abuse. In the area of how well the needs of children and families are met, the inspectors emphasised that staff have clear guidance on what to do when children go missing from school. They know what action to take when children run away from home, residential or foster care. Furthermore when young people return, they benefit from advice and support and, where necessary, additional help from Barnardo’s Young Runaways Project. In was noted that in terms of good leadership and direction, partnership working, including with the voluntary sector, has improved significantly. In recent years the third sector’s has been heavily involved with partners in contributing to the development of new policies and procedures to protect children and young people in the city. The credibility and value of the sector’s contribution and key services and has been acknowledged by HMIe inspectors and indeed public sector partners. Finally thanks to the individuals and organisations who worked hard to contribute to the Child Protection self evaluation and in providing evidence for the inspection. Well done to all concerned.
