Agenda item

The Panel received the Care Leavers Service: My Plan, My Future report presented by Lesley Baldry, Strategic Manager (for copy of report see file of minutes). 

The Strategic Manager described how the My Plan, My Future tool enabled young people to review their pathway plans and Young Person Advisors (YPAs) use the tool with young people, in their direct work sessions. The Panel noted that the initiative was adapted by Durham’s Care Leavers service using a model set up by another local authority and young people from the Children in Care Council were consulted in its design.

Resolved:

The Corporate Parenting Panel:

(a)          considered this direct working tool developed alongside young people; and

(b)          agreed that the tool may be used for pathway plan reviews for young people who have left care.
