Safeguarding partners must jointly report on the activity they have undertaken in a 12-month period. That reporting should be transparent and easily accessible to families and professionals. The focus of these reports should be on multi-agency priorities, learning, impact, evidence, and improvement. Reports must include:

• what partnerships have done as a result of the arrangements, including on child safeguarding practice reviews
• how effective these arrangements have been in practice

As soon as is feasible after the end of each financial year, an SAB must publish a report on—

1. what it has done during that year to achieve its objective,
2. what it has done during that year to implement its strategy,
3. what each member has done during that year to implement the strategy,
4. the findings of the reviews arranged by it under section 44 (safeguarding adults reviews) which have concluded in that year (whether or not they began in that year),
5. the reviews arranged by it under that section which are ongoing at the end of that year (whether or not they began in that year),
6. what it has done during that year to implement the findings of reviews arranged by it under that section, and
7. where it decides during that year not to implement a finding of a review arranged by it under that section, the reasons for its decision.

The SAB must send a copy of the report to—

1. the chief executive and the leader of the local authority which established the SAB,
2. the local policing body the whole or part of whose area is in the local authority’s area,
3. the Local Healthwatch organisation for the local authority’s area, and
4. the chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board for that area.
5. “Local policing body” has the meaning given by section 101 of the Police Act 1996.
