Minutes:
The Strategic Manager for Looked After and Permanence congratulated Health Commissioning colleagues who were awarded the Fostering Network Fostering Excellence Award for Fostering Friendly Employer of the Year.
Commenting on how all the young people looked after are inspiring, the Strategic Manager shared two examples of proud moments this month. The first was a young person living in shared care arrangements who had experienced difficulties and disruption in his life, however he is now making remarkable progress, attending school regularly and achieving new goals both at school and in his personal life. Staff and his family have commented on how proud they are to see his progress and the kindness he is showing when caring for his younger sibling who has additional needs.
Another proud moment came when a young person with disabilities completed a sponsored walk for the Dogs Trust, raising over £100.
The Panel commended the achievements of the young people and wished them well going forward.
