# data[].attributes.body
Update from Inspection Coordinator:

I am writing to provide you with an update about the Joint Inspection for Children at Risk of Harm, as we near the conclusion of phase one of the inspection.

To date, the staff survey has been completed, records have been collated and shared, record reading training undertaken and network of support information shared.

This brief summary does not reflect the huge amount of time and effort that has gone in to making this happen and the complexity of the work undertaken, and the efforts of all those involved are greatly appreciated.

The partnership approach to ensuring everything has gone smoothly and met timescales has been impressive.

This week sees the commencement of the record reading week, which will take place from Monday 30th January 2023 to Thursday 2nd February 2023 (with Friday 3rd set aside as “back-up” should it be required).

Following the completion of the record reading, the lead co-ordinator and lead inspector will meet on 7th February 2023 to discuss Phase 2 of the inspection.

Feedback form the staff survey and record reading will be shared with the inspection preparation group on 15th February 2023, and the children and young people survey will be issued on 20th February 2023 and will be open for 3 weeks.

The first draft of the partnership position statement has been shared with the inspection preparation group and this will be further developed prior to the submission date of 8th March 2023.

The engagement week commences on 20th March 2023, and will consist of staff focus groups, network of support meetings and meetings children, young people and parents/carers. Plans are in motion to make arrangements to schedule meetings for the engagement week.

The final partnership discussion with senior leaders will take place on 19th April 2023, and once this has concluded the focus will turn to developing the inspection report with the final publication date being 23rd May 2023.

Staff Survey - Children at Risk of Harm 

# data[].attributes.body
The Care Inspectorate, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and Education Scotland are undertaking a joint inspection of services for children at risk of harm in the Scottish Borders. The first phase of this Inspection involves a staff survey across Police, Health, Social Work, Education and Voluntary Sector Organisations.

It is important that the views of the Voluntary and Third Sector are captured to assist the joint inspection team in understanding the impact of services on children and young people at risk in the Scottish Borders.  It is vital that staff complete the survey, which will take approximately 15 - 20 minutes.

This is an opportunity for you to reflect on the contribution that you and your immediate colleagues, as well as your partner colleagues from other services or agencies, make to the lives of children and young people in need of protection.

The survey can be accessed using the link below;

The link is best copied and pasted onto Microsoft Edge to access and will be open until 13 th January 2023.

This online survey is aimed at people who work with, or provide support to, children and young people at risk of harm and their families. This includes health visitors, school nurses, doctors, teachers, social workers, police officers, and staff working in the voluntary and independent sector.

When we refer to children and young people at risk of harm, we mean children and young people who need support due to being at risk of harm from abuse and/or neglect and those who are a significant risk to themselves and/or others.

The survey should take you around 15-20 minutes to complete. When completing it, please indicate the extent to which you agree, or disagree, with each statement, based on your experience of your day-to-day job. Where some of the statements in the survey are not relevant to the job you do, please select 'Not applicable to my job/role' in the response box. In the survey, "We" means both you and your immediate colleagues, as well as your partner colleagues from other services or agencies, and the contribution that collectively you make to the lives of children and young people in need of protection.

You do not have to provide us with your name, just your current occupation/professional role. Views will not be attributed to any individual and will remain confidential. Responses should be received prior to the closing date of 13th January 2023.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
