Tessa Lindfield’s introduction of the report highlighted:

?  When the Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) set their priorities, one of the key areas for focus was collaboration with the Safer Stronger Communities Board (SSCB).

?  The HWB development session last month included a presentation and discussion, and commitments were made, which were subject to ratification by the HWB. Slides from the presentation were included in the agenda pack as Appendix A to the report.

 

AGREED that the Health and Wellbeing Board support:

?  The SSCB to audit Enfield’s progress towards implementing the NICE guidelines on domestic abuse.

?  Dissemination of information on services for victims of domestic abuse in Enfield and prevention campaigns.

?  The wider use of routine enquiry in health and care services.

?  The use of DV specialist workers in A&E.

?  A joint commissioning approach where it makes sense to do.

?  Work towards more data sharing and analysis.

?  A proposal to the JSNA steering group to include further work on this topic.

 

Points above would be tracked via an action plan and included in the HWB forward plan.
