Children's Services Computerised Social Work Records relating to alleged Domestic Violence
Dear Fife Council,
Can you please advise if you record on Children's Services computer
records all reported details of Domestic Violence / Domestic Abuse
on the following SEPARATE records:
a) the name of the child
b) the names of all other children in that household
c) the name of the (alleged) perpetrator
d) the name of the (alleged) victim
and, if not, how you track Offenders especially when they may move
addresses and how children in new households are Safeguarded.
If the details are only held on the child's record would you accept
that this is a failing which needs to be rectified urgently and, if
so, what actions you will be taking?
Yours faithfully,
Philip J Measures
