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
