Minutes:
The Chair thanked officers for their comprehensive report.
Members referred to the background section on page 20 of the
Cabinet report, and requested that text is added to the report to reflect that
the council will support children to remain with a parent or person with
parental responsibility, where it is safe to do so. It was important to
reference safeguarding as this is the primary focus. Members requested data for
different types of establishment such as foster carers, residential children's
homes or supported accommodation.
Officers confirmed that the suggested change would be made to the report and the requested information would be provided to members.
Following scrutiny, members supported the recommendation
outlined in the draft Cabinet report.
