[To receive the Children in Care Council Annual Report.]

Minutes:

The Vice-Chair of the Children in Care Council (CiCC) presented the CiCC Annual Report 2019 – 2020 with an accompanying slideshow presentation. The report provided a summary of the outcomes of the Children in Care Survey and focused on the achievements of the CiCC and their continued commitment to improving Children’s Services.

 

It was reported that attendance for the CiCC Annual Conference had been lower than expected and steps had been taken to explore why this had occurred. It was noted that Children and Young People in Care Team Managers and members of the Fostering Team had taken the feedback on board and agreed to use more avenues, such as the fostering portal online, to further promote all events of interest to children and young people in care.

 

The presentation also included news and the achievements of the Children in Care Council over the past year.

 

The work undertaken by the young people and their commitment to improving services was commended. It was noted that the Authority would continue to engage with young people and the CiCC. It was requested that CiCC meetings dates be provided so Councillors were aware and could attend or contribute if needed.

 

Resolved:

 

  1. That the Children in Care Council (CiCC) Annual Report 2019 – 2020 be received.

2.    That CiCC meeting dates be provided to Councillors.
