Corporate parenting strategy
The strategy covers all young people aged 0-21 years (24 in some cases) who are looked after by the council or are care leavers. The strategy identifies the developmental requirements to ensure the outcomes for these children improve in line with their peers. There is a commitment that children and young people will be active participants in the planning and development of policies and practice in connection with looked-after children and young people. The strategy is a council policy framework, requiring the active engagement of all service departments of South Gloucestershire Council and of elected members.
