Fostering Digital Roadshow - Update from Councillor McKeon

Minutes:

At the meeting on 29 September, members were asked to consider how improvements could be made to the recruitment and marketing of foster carers.

 

Cllr McKeon informed the Panel that she had attended a meeting with the Head of Looked After Children and Care Leavers and staff from the fostering and communications teams, to share feedback from these discussions with regard to the recruitment of foster carers.  

 

Cllr McKeon notified members that it was agreed to launch a digital roadshow to roll-out to a range of community groups across the County during fostering fortnight in May 2018.  Cllr McKeon asked members to let her know if they would be interested in participating in the project, or trailing this prior to county wide roll out.
