The Corporate Parenting
Board in Worcestershire provides leadership and a governance
structure for corporate parenting in order
to drive forward the outcomes for looked after children and
care leavers. It oversees the Board's strategy and promotes our
pledges to children in care and care leavers. It promotes the
voice of children and young people and is influential in decision
making. It also provides challenge and scrutiny to ensure the best
outcomes are achieved for children in care and care
leavers.
The Board is not a
public meeting. As such attendance is by invitation or at the
Chairman’s discretion. It is in the list of meetings on
our website alongside our public meetings as a way of being
transparent about its work and encouraging others to understand its
role and activity. There is no provision in its terms of reference
for public attendance or participation at Corporate Parenting Board
meetings.
