Minutes:
Following from language discussions at the previous meeting, The Head of Children’s Social Care asked the Panel to consider a video where Luke Rodgers BEM, Director of Strategy for The Care Leaders shared his experience as a young person in the care system and the language that had been used to describe him as a young person in his referral to his foster carers.
The Head of Children’s Social Care noted that it was a powerful message and helped to demonstrate the importance of stepping back and thinking about the language being used in recording and describing young people.
