Minutes:
The Strategic Manager for Looked After Resources spoke to the Panel about a young person resident in a children’s home whose past experiences have led to that person finding it difficult to form relationships and to share thoughts, feelings and fears with others. The young person is a talented baker and enjoys making and decorating cupcakes. Of their own volition, the young person made a special cupcake as a ‘thank you’ for a teacher who had provided support throughout particularly difficult times. The Panel recognised that this gesture was a very brave step for the young person who was acknowledging the trust and attachment that had been formed in the relationship. The Panel sent their encouragement and best wishes to the young person for their future progress.
