Led by

The Corporate Parenting Board is responsible for providing strategic direction and leadership
throughout the borough to deliver our vision and principles, and priorities.

The Board are also responsible for developing and monitoring our Leaving Care Strategy Action Plan. The associated action plan will be kept up-todate and will be reviewed annually throughout the lifecycle of the strategy.

On an annual basis the strategy priorities can be reviewed and refreshed as required, to respond to local, regional or national updates. Our young people will also have the opportunity through the Care Leavers Forum and the annual Care Leavers Celebration Event to share their views on if any of our priorities need to change.

Any updates to the strategy are subject to agreement by the Corporate Parenting Board and
the Council’s Executive Management Team. These will be considered alongside our Looked After Children Strategy to ensure our priorities are aligned and working well together.
