Extracted recommendations
| # | Recommendation | Addressed to |
|---|---|---|
| 4.2.3 | Consolidate work in relation to invisibility of fathers in the context of CSC and other frontline family services and audit progress to date in relation to this area of work to ensure both the Safer Croydon Partnership and the Children’s Safeguarding Board has adequate oversight on progress to date and further development required. | Safer Croydon Partnership | Children’s Safeguarding Board |
| 4.2.4 | Consider if the public information provided in a wide range of services such as the CAB, Croydon Family Justice Centre, GP surgeries and general support and advice centres target a range of potential service users including men so that there is wider understanding to those seeking help and their social networks of the range of service provided locally. | Safer Croydon Partnership |
| 4.2.5 | Report on progress to date in relation to work in both schools and primary care which relate to recommendations and actions from prior reviews which are reflected and further understood in this review. | Safer Croydon Partnership |
