Corporate
Parenting Strategy 2021-2024
A Corporate
Parenting Strategy 2021-2024 has been published which outlines
our commitments, challenges and key steps to support looked after
children and care leavers across the city.
Working together with partners and the wider
community, we all have a responsibility to support looked after
children and care leavers in order for them to be happy, safe and
thrive.
As part of a consultation with looked after
children, five key priorities have been set out in the strategy
based on their personal views and experiences.
These include:
·
Improving emotional well-being and
physical health
·
Better connections, improved
relationships
·
A comfortable safe stable home whilst
in care and after
·
Educational achievement, employment and
training
·
Celebrating our children and young
people
