Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Safeguarding Annual Report April 2013 March 2014 DRAFT REPORT Kate Larard Head of Safeguarding 01 May 2014 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to inform and update the Trust Board with regard to safeguarding vulnerable adults and children within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust (BSMHFT). The report will provide information regarding the activity that has taken place over the past year to meet national and local requirements. It will demonstrate the degree to which we work in partnership with other statutory and nonstatutory agencies in relation to the safeguarding agenda, the internal and external governance arrangements that we are subject to, and the responsibility we have in regard to our regulatory duties. The report will identify progress against the work plan of 2013/14 and the key objectives for 2014/15 in relation to the safeguarding agenda. 2.0 LEGISLATION 2.1 Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults In 2000 the Department of Health and the Home Office published guidance to underpin the adult safeguarding agenda. No Secrets places a duty on local authorities to put in place a framework to ensure that there are processes in place to protect vulnerable adults from abuse and neglect. A consultation and a review of the guidance was completed in 2009 but we continue to work with the original 2000 guidance as the recommendations of the review and the consultation have yet to be implemented. This includes the potential for legislation that would underpin adult safeguarding in the same way as the Children s Act underpins child safeguarding. In March 2011 the Department of Health published Safeguarding Adults: The role of health services which clarifies the duties health services have to safeguard vulnerable adults. The document provides the following good practice principles for preventing and responding to neglect and abuse, focusing on patients in the most vulnerable situations: Accountability; Prevention; Protection; Proportionality; Partnership and Empowerment BSMHFT has interpreted the No Secrets definition of a vulnerable adult in a way that means that we would consider all of our service users to be vulnerable meaning that we would expect the procedures to be implemented for any service user who was subject to abuse and neglect 2.2 Safeguarding Children The Children Acts1989and 2004 provide comprehensive legislation to protect and safeguard children and Section 11 of the Act places a duty on all agencies to: make arrangements to ensure that in discharging their functions, they have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children In addition, Working Together to Safeguard Children 1999 and its revisions of 2006; 2010 and 2013 (DOH) include the need for: - senior management commitment and clear lines of accountability - a clear statement of the agency s responsibilities - appropriate service development and supported training programmes - safe recruitment - effective inter-agency working and information sharing. In July 2009, the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) published a guide entitled Think child, think parent, think family: a guide to parental mental health and child welfare to help services improve their response to parents with mental health problems and their families. In June 2010 the Munro Review was published advocating a move from a system that is over bureaucratised and focused on compliance to one that values and develops
professional expertise and is focused on the system and welfare of Children and Young People. The following recommendations were approved: that the government will oversee a radical reduction in the amount of regulation through the revision of the statutory framework that there will be greater emphasis to work directly with Children, Young People and families that there will be a new inspection framework with Children, Young People and families at the centre that there should be greater transparency and co-ordination of local arrangements to deliver early help. for a co-produced work programme between Department of Education, Department of Health, NHS bodies, local authorities and professional bodies to ensure improvement of safeguarding arrangements in healthcare reform 3.0 TRUST RESPONSIBILITES As a health organisation in relation to Safeguarding the Trust needs to demonstrate compliance with the following: 3.1 Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults - Standard 7 of the Care Quality Commission Essential Standards - No Secrets (DOH 2000) - Safeguarding Adults; the role of health services 3.2 Safeguarding Children and Young People - Section 11 Guidance of the Children Act (2004) - Working Together to Safeguarding Children (2013) - The National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services (2004) - Safeguarding Children.

In addition, BSMHFT clinicians based in Solihull have attended Solihull LSCB forum meetings which facilitate better networking and understanding of other agency roles and safeguarding processes for children. 4.3 Birmingham Ofsted and Le Grande Review The City Council has been subject to Government Improvement since 2009 with notices issued in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. In February 2014 a review was under taken on behalf of the Government and an External Commissioner and expert panel were appointed to work alongside the City Council. An Improvement Plan 2014/15 has been published identifying that improvement will only be sustained through collective responsibility and a cultural shift. It is acknowledged that there is significant work and challenge ahead and BSMHFT, as a partner agency, are fully committed to working in partnership to affect change and improvement. A further Ofsted Inspection has taken place in March 2014 and the final report will be published in May 2014. 4.4 Solihull CQC
A review of health services for Children Looked After and Safeguarding was undertaken in February 2014 and included perinatal mental health, adult mental health and addictions. A key risk in relation to Rio not having a flagging/alert system in place for Children Subject to a Child Protection Plan, was identified during the inspection. Immediate action was taken to rectify the situation and the inspectors were satisfied with the expedient response. The draft report is broadly positive with the following key areas identified for improvement - further strengthening and embedding of Think Family principles, greater consideration given to the voice of the child and the child s journey. The final report will be published in May 2014. There are twelve recommendations for BSMHFT and the first draft of the Action Plan has been drawn up. 4.5 Section 11 Audit Birmingham LSCB undertook their first Section 11 Audit in April 2013. An action plan was developed at the time and BSMHFT had two red markers and a total of six amber markers. Work undertaken over the past year has reduced this to no red markers and three amber markers in March 2014. Solihull LSCB undertook a full Section 11 audit in 2011 which has been reviewed annually. An action plan was developed at the time and BSMHFT had no red markers and total of 11 amber markers. Work undertaken over the past three years has reduced this to 3 amber markers in March 2014. It should be noted that 2 of these markers have wider LSCB implications. 4.4 Safer Recruitment and Allegations Against Staff All offers of employment made to prospective employees are subject to an enhanced Criminal Records check as are all substantive employees every three years. The Head of Safeguarding sits on the Disclosure and Barring Panel to consider any adverse disclosures. During this reporting period new guidance has been developed in relation to Allegations against Staff to promote a consistent and robust process. The safeguarding team supports human resources in relation to allegations against staff and are involved in complaints when there is a safeguarding element. A total of ten cases have been referred to the Local Authority in relation to allegations against staff, three adult allegations - Person in Position of Trust (PiPoT) and seven child allegations - Local Designated Officer (LADO) 4.6 Serious Case Reviews Serious Case Reviews (SCRs) are commissioned by the Local Safeguarding Boards when either an adult or child has suffered serious abuse or death. The purpose is to learn lessons around partnership working and multi-agency communication and examines events leading up to the incident. All organisations working with either a victim or perpetrator are required to complete an Individual Management Review (IMR). The Safeguarding Team have been involved in two SCRs and a number of multi-agency table top reviews during this reporting period.

Following a domestic homicide Birmingham Community Safety Partnership commissions a DHR. The purpose is similar to that of a SCR to learn lessons around partnership working and communication and similarly all organisations working with either the victim or perpetrator are required to undertake an Individual Management Review (IMR). Domestic Homicides are an organisational concern involving a number of disciplines and departments. A Trust wide action plan is agreed with leads identified. The Safeguarding Team have been involved with the following DHRs during this reporting period.

It is anticipated that all outstanding actions will have been completed by the end of Quarter 2. Recommendations from DHR 11 are progressing as per action plan. 5.0 PARTNERSHIP WORKING Working in partnership with all agencies is an intrinsic part of safeguarding. In addition to working with the Local Safeguarding Boards the safeguarding team demonstrates BSMHFTs commitment to partnership working through representation at the following committees and steering groups: 5.1 PREVENT Regional Group - is part of the United Kingdom s counter-terrorism initiative. Its aim is to identify and work with vulnerable people who may be at risk of radicalisation or recruitment by a terrorist organization. The Head of Safeguarding is the Trust s Prevent lead and attends a monthly regional meeting. As part of the 2014/15 NHS Contract it is now a requirement that all staff are trained in relation to Prevent. The Department of Health have produced a standardised training
package HeathWRAP to be rolled out across all organisations. During this reporting period twenty five BSMHFT staff have been trained as trainers to deliver HealthWRAP training. The uptake for training at the end of Quarter 4 stands at 18%. 5.2 Channel Panel similarly this is part of the UKs counter-terrorism initiative. Channel Panel is the multi-agency forum where actual cases are discussed and where plans are put in place to support individuals who maybe being radicalised. BSMHFT is represented by a Clinical Psychologist who is undertaking specialist research in relation to the working of Channel Panel. 5.3 Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) - the aim of this hub is to improve the quality and timeliness of decision making to reduce the potential risk to children and young people. The model has been rolled out across the UK and locates key agencies together in a single work place, to enhance information sharing. The Safeguarding Team have been contributing in the development of the MASH at both strategic and operational level. Phase one of the MASH is due to commence in July 2014 and phase two is due to go live in September 2014. BSMHFT is expected to participate from phase two and requirements are being discussed with commissioners 5.4 Multi-Agency Risk Assessment (MARAC) - The aim of MARAC is to develop safety plans for the highest risk victims of domestic abuse i.e. those at risk of being murdered or suffering serious harm. The purpose of MARAC is to share information and to develop a risk management plan to provide a professional, co-ordinated approach to all reported incidents of domestic abuse. The safeguarding team attend the Birmingham and Solihull MARACs to contribute and share information and provide clinical expertise about significant mental ill health and how it impacts on the wellbeing of the whole family. This is a huge commitment of 7 MARAC sessions per month (6 in Birmingham and 1 in Solihull). 5.5 Domestic Homicide Steering Group - reports to the Birmingham Community Safety Partnership. The Head of Safeguarding attends monthly meetings 5.6 Birmingham Violence Against Women Board - The Named Nurse for Adults at Risk represent BSMHFT at this Board 5.7 Solihull Domestic Abuse Priority Group The Named Nurse for Adults at Risk represents BSMHFT on this monthly group 5.8 Birmingham Commissioners Safeguarding Adults Health Group- The Named Nurse for Adults at Risk represents BSMHFT on this bi-monthly group 5.9 Health Advisory Group - The Named Doctor for Safeguarding Children and Young People represents BSMHFT on this group. 6.0 CORE ACTIVITY The Head of Safeguarding takes the strategic lead in supporting the organisation to meet its statutory functions with regard to safeguarding vulnerable adults, children and young people. The Named Professionals, supported by the Head of Safeguarding, have a key role in promoting good professional practice, providing advice, expertise, training and supervision to all practitioners. A key part of the Named Nurse role is to provide daily support and advice for all staff. In September 2013 a basic tool was developed to capture this activity to help identify trends
and themes and inform future working. During Quarter 3 just over 200 telephone enquiries were made to the safeguarding team whereas, in Quarter 4 just over 500 telephone and email enquiries were made. Early data indicates that enquiries made in relation to Safeguarding Adults have been predominantly associated with domestic abuse, financial abuse and sexual abuse. Whilst, for Safeguarding Children and Young People enquiries have been predominantly associated with issues of domestic abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. 6.1 Dashboard Reporting Number of Referrals Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Adult Safeguarding Alerts 54 (joint) 24 56 42 Child Safeguarding Referrals 54 (joint) 20 31 49 Deprivation of Liberty applications 0 0 3 0 Mental Capacity Act referrals - - 7 4 Court of Protection referrals 0 0 0 0 Referrals in relation to Prevent 2 1 1 2 Position of Trust referrals PiPot/LADO 3 2 3 2 6.2 Supervision The Trust Clinical Supervision Policy includes reference to child safeguarding supervision to ensure that the requirements of Working Together to Safeguard Children (2013) are met and best practice processes are in place. The Named Nurse for Safeguarding Children and Young People provides child protection group supervision to senior staff in addictions, specialities and youth services. Supervision is cascaded through the teams in the form of Action Learning Sets facilitated by the senior staff. Currently there is no statutory requirement to provide supervision in relation to safeguarding adults. However all staff are able to seek advice and support and ad hoc supervision in relation to cases via the Named Nurse for Safeguarding Adults at Risk or through management via clinical supervision sessions. The Named Nurses receive clinical supervision via the Clinical Commissioning Group Designated Nurse for Children and Young People and the Lead Nurse for Safeguarding Adults. 6.3 Training As part of the Fundamental Training Programme statutory and mandatory training requirements for all staff have been identified. At the outset of this reporting period all core training packages were reviewed and updated in line with the Intercollegiate Document Roles and Competencies for Safeguarding Children and Young People 2010 and the National Competence Framework for Safeguarding Adults 2010. The Safeguarding Team have developed and delivered the following core training: - Induction - Safeguarding Children, Young People and Adults at Risk - Level 1 e-learning - Safeguarding Children and Young People (from Mar 2013) - Level 1 e-learning - Safeguarding Adults at Risk (from Mar 2013) - Level 2 face-to-face - Safeguarding Children and Young People (from Mar 2013) - Level 2 face-to-face - Safeguarding Adults at Risk (from Sept 2013) Uptake of Training
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Safeguarding Children and Young People Level 1 95% 95% 96% 95% Safeguarding Children and Young People Level 2 79% 80% 83% 79% Safeguarding Adults at Risk recorded) Level 1&2 (jointly 89% 88% (91%) (90%) The table indicates that uptake for Level 1 Safeguarding Children and Young People training has been consistent at 95% or above. Uptake for Level 2 Safeguarding Children and Young People training has steadily improved through Quarter 1 to Quarter 3. However, data for Quarter 4 demonstrates a dip in performance, which may be attributed to insufficient training courses being available to meet demand. In relation to Safeguarding Adults at Risk Level 1 the uptake at Quarter 2 was at 88%. In September 2013 Level 2 training was introduced. The recording of the two levels of training was not separated out and has been recorded jointly. As a consequence accurate data on uptake for both levels is not available. A Training Needs Analysis has been completed to correct this discrepancy. As part of the Trust's partnership working with the Birmingham LSCB the Safeguarding Team have assisted in developing and delivering Right Service, Right Time training and Strengthening Families training on behalf of the LSCB With regard to partnership working with the Solihull LSCB the Safeguarding Team has codeveloped and presented on the LSCB Level 2 Multi-agency Training which runs twice a year. 7.0 OBJECTIVES AND WORK PROGRAMME FOR 2014/15 The following objectives and work programme for 2014/15 have been identified to support the requirements for safeguarding practice and ensure continuous improvement in practice.
