The Executive Board provides strategic oversight of the new multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, co-ordinating safeguarding services and evaluating the effectiveness of
partnership working. The Executive Board is chaired by an Independent Scrutineer,

The Executive Board meets bi-monthly to provide strategic direction, challenge and oversight
on implementation of the priorities set out in the Business Improvement Plan 2019/21. The
three nominated representatives of the Safeguarding Partners are all members of the Executive
Board along with representatives from the Safeguarding Partners who are responsible for
leading the Partnership’s Sub-Groups. An elected member of Birmingham City Council will act as
