Examples of some of the proud moments during the month were provided by Service Leads. Bernadette Toomey, Practice Lead for Children and Young People, spoke of how proud she was of the development of the Children in Care Service, in particular the work done by the Experts through Experience group to promote sibling relationships. The Practice Lead informed the Panel that 21 children currently had plans for reunification with their families and she commended the work carried out to reach these positive outcomes.
The Strategic Manager for Looked After and Permanence, Paula Jemson, informed the Panel that she had attended a successful event to celebrate the launch of the new Mockingbird Hub which brought carers and young people together to have fun and build relationships. She added that she was looking forward to seeing the relationships flourish.
