Minutes:
7.1 The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Strategic Director, Place outlining an introduction to corporate parenting. The concept of corporate parenting was introduced with the launch of the Quality Protects Programme in 1998; the principle was that the local authority is the corporate parent for children in care and thus has the legal and moral duty to provide the kind of support that good parents would provide their own children. Elected Members have a responsibility for making sure that the Council meets all of its statutory duties and responsibilities.
7.2 RESOLVED - That the report be noted.
