Issue 44 - June 2024

Dear newsletter subscribers Over the coming weeks and months you will begin to see more information about the Protecting People Angus Strategic Committee (PPASC). This new committee began on 1 April 2024 with the first meeting taking place in late April. The remit of the committee is around Adult Protection, Child Protection and Gender Based Violence. This means that the three committee formerly known as Angus Child Protection Committee, Angus Adult Protection Committee and Angus Violence against Women Partnership have been disbanded. The remit that they previously covered will now be dealt with under the remit of PPASC. This will mean some changes for the Workforce Learning and Development Subgroup who provide the information for this newsletter. More information to follow in the next newsletter around this. As always, if you want to raise any multi-agency protection learning needs please contact me at ProtectingPeopleAngus@angus.gov.uk Many thanks Laura Winter, Protecting People Team Leader
