Agenda item

Lesley Baldry, Service Manager and Rebecca, Investing in Children presented the Know What When guide (for copy of report, see file of minutes).

The Panel noted that the guide was developed as a result of discussions between young people of the Children in Care Council (CiCC), Investing in Children and Children’s Services, on the benefits of knowing what to expect at different stages of the care journey.  Copies of the guide were circulated at the meeting and the Panel viewed a short video produced to accompany the guide, which is available in print and online to all young people entering care. Rebecca explained that, when writing the guide, care experienced young people drew on the thoughts and feelings they had, when they entered care. Rebecca highlighted that the young people were particularly keen to include the section on young people’s rights and she paid tribute to the hard work and dedication of the young people involved in the project.

Resolved:

That the recommendations be agreed.
