Corporate Parenting
In 2005 Salford City Council launched a scrutiny commission to investigate the current service provision relating to the Council’s corporate parenting role – how well it looked after the children within its care.
As a result of this work 23 recommendations were put forward to the Council’s cabinet and external partners to bring about improvements in the life chances for looked after children in Salford. Those recommendations centred around 6 key themes:
- Placement stability
- Education and employment opportunities
- Employment and training opportunities
- Pre and post care issues
- Health and well being
- Structural issues
Work is now ongoing within the Children’s Services Directorate and with external partners to implement those recommendations. Officers are scheduled to return to the scrutiny committee on a regular basis to report on the progress made and members will be monitoring the situation until all recommendations have been fully implemented.
