Agenda item

The Senior Partnership Officer, Partnerships and Community Engagement, presented the Corporate Parenting Panel sub group and panel representation report (for copy of report see file of minutes).

Members identified additional sub / group and panel representatives and the Senior Partnership Officer advised that an updated list would be circulated in due course.

The Senior Partnership Officer informed the panel that membership of the Corporate Parenting Panel includes six non-voting co-opted members consisting of three school representatives and three representatives from other agencies. 

It was proposed that the authority to appoint co-opted members would be granted to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Corporate Parenting Panel, in consultation with the Head of Looked After Children and Care Leavers, and, that the appointments be staggered for two years and four years, to provide consistency.

Resolved:

1. That additional sub group / panel representatives be identified.
2. That Member representation on sub groups / panels for 2017/18 be ratified.
3. That Co-opted Members be appointed.

At the request of Councillor Charlton, the Chairman agreed that the agenda item on Regulation 44 Visits would be considered as the next item of business.
