Agenda item

RESOLVED:

1.  That the introduction of new guidance published in March 2010 to underpin the revised legislation for the care of children looked after by the Local Authority and the implementation of the new guidance by April 2011 be noted.

2.  That officers should articulate the corporate parenting committee role in relation to the changes set out in the guidance. This should also be linked with the point made under the minutes section in relation to the members induction handbook and the need to include guidance in this area within the handbook.
