Hi,
In addition to this legislation it would be inappropriate to share the contents of a Strategy Meeting in any case, as I understand this is where it is decided what information will be shared with the family and what will be withheld (amongst other things). It is designed so that there can be frank and honest discussion of all aspects of the case and the family do not attend (they will be present at other meetings during the case).
Information may be withheld if it is likely to put the child at further risk (protecting their "vital interests" as the DPA puts it), or as the section Trish quotes, prejudice the outcome of the case.
Best wishes,
Michelle Peel
