Public Protection Committee
The Scottish Borders Public Protection Committee works to protect the public from harm and abuse and ensure that people receive the help they need to recover, where harm has occurred.
Our Objectives
The Public Protection Committee was established at the start of 2020 and brought together the work of the former statutory Committees of Child Protection and Adult Protection. These now operate as Delivery Groups reporting into the Public Protection Committee along with a Training and Development Delivery Group, Communications Delivery Group, Violence Against Women Partnership and the Justice Delivery Group.
The Scottish Borders Public Protection Committee has a shared vision that all children and adults at risk in Scottish Borders are supported and protected from harm and are enabled to live their lives as safely and independently as possible.
Our commitment is that everyone in the Scottish Borders has the right to live free from abuse, harm and neglect. In partnership we will focus our efforts on continuous improvement, strategic planning, public information and communication. The Committee draws together the work of key areas of public protection which cut across the work of many statutory, voluntary and independent sector agencies across the Borders.
The Public Protection Committee is an inter-agency group of senior staff, led by an Independent Chair. It provides leadership to promote the safety of children and young people and adults at risk of harm and ensures that services provided are effectively supported and managed. It reports to the Critical Services Oversight Group (CSOG) which is led by the Chief Executives of NHS Borders , Scottish Borders Council and the Divisional Commander for Police Scotland.
The Youth Borders representatives on Public Protection Committee are Anna O’Reilly, Assistant Director, Children First and Youth Borders Chief Officer David Calver.
