A CATALOGUE of recommendations have been made by Professor Jean MacLellan in her report into the Margaret Fleming case - including one for an Inverclyde memorial to the murdered teenager.

One of the main ones is the formation of an Inverclyde Implementation Group, to prevent breakdowns in communication from causing another tragic case like Margaret's.

A National Audit including an analysis of numbers of people with learning disabilities and autism in each area is also to be conducted, 'to ensure that all individuals are known and are not hidden in plain sight'.

Prof MacLellan says that lessons must be learned from 'workflow and communication breakdowns'.

She has recommended expanding the Scottish Government Health Checks National Rollout, saying that this would ensure that 'no shows' at appointments would trigger an alert and a subsequent investigation.

The professor also asks for information-sharing procedures to be improved and strengthened.

Her report states: 'The analysis of Margaret’s life shows several points where information could have been shared productively.

'Communication between professionals, too, was sometimes unclear and more focused on processes rather than desired outcomes, simply did not take place or was critically not followed through after initial contact.

'Passing it on is not good enough.'

Finally there are two local recommendations regarding 'Inverclyde as a community'.

The first is a campaign which encourages 'societal participation in calling out potential harm that is not vigilante in nature but about being a watchful eye and a supporter of those who may need protection'.

And the report concludes by suggesting that a remembrance event for Margaret should be held in the district which should be 'open to everyone in the community'.
