This month’s proud moment was reported by the Practice Lead, Children and Young People and was a statement from a young person who had experience with the care system in County Durham and had applied to join the Armed Forces. She explained the challenges the young person had faced and gave the Panel an extract from their military application statement. The Practice Lead, Children and Young People advised that the young person was not successful this time but were not deterred and noted the excellent journey that the individual had taken, having come from a background with neglect and many challenges.
