From Education & Children’s Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee.

8.1 Councillor Jasmine Ali introduced the report and stated that the scrutiny input had been strong, independent and caring.

8.2 The committee were informed that the sub-committee had reviewed the local offer for care leavers and flagged up the Children and Social Work Bill last year, one of the things it focused on was the needs of the care leavers. The sub-committee looked at what systems were in place and found them fit for purpose and the authority was in a good position, but there were points that could be improved and these were raised as recommendations in the report.   

RESOLVED: That the committee agree the report and recommendations, and forward the report to the Cabinet.
