Decision:
RESOLVED:
To approve the Annual Corporate Parenting Report for 2021-2022.
Minutes:
The Portfolio Holder for Children and Education presented the report which, following the Children and Safeguarding Service and wider Council achieving a ‘GOOD’ outcome from the Ofsted Inspection of Local Authority Services (ILACS) in February 2022, highlighted the areas of good and outstanding practice, together with key issues and challenges.
Members noted that the local authority and Corporate Parenting Board is working closely with health partners to address the pathways for the emotional and mental health needs of children and young people to be identified early and timely interventions put in place. Our Early Help offer is also being revised to ensure families can receive the right support at the right time, preventing higher levels of need.
It was noted that there was no information regarding who is coming into Shropshire via the asylum-seeking programme. It was confirmed that Shropshire Council is part of the Government National Transfer Scheme for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children which is carried out on a rota basis and that further updates would be brought to a future meeting.
RESOLVED:
To approve the Annual Corporate Parenting Report for 2021-2022.
