Our Priorities
The six priorities (in our Corporate Parenting Strategy) that have been developed with you are:
- Supporting engagement and achievement in education, training, and employment.
- Ensuring that our children looked after, and care experienced young people have stable homes and the right help.
- We will listen and respond to the voice of our children, young people, and care experienced young people. They will help to develop and shape our strategic plans and delivery of services.
- Ensuring that our children, young people, and care experienced young people are healthy. We will help our children and care experienced young people to have access to help for their physical needs and emotional wellbeing.
- Developing a highly effective care leavers partnership to provide ongoing help in a variety of ways for them.
- Supporting children, young people and care experienced young people to have fun and have new experiences to develop their own interests.
