Issue - meetings

This report outlines the range of support available to assist with children in care with challenging behaviour, and gives some examples of the type of needs that are being met.

This report set out the range of support available to assist children in care with challenging behaviour. Details of general support and placements was given, together with information on specific support.

Examples were given of individual children with a range of needs that the service was trying to meet. It was noted that girls were just as challenging as boys. The Committee were informed that Child B was receiving counselling but was resistant to any support. Particular concern was expressed over Child E and the members questioned the procedures and timescales at which a child should be removed from its mother. It was noted that this particular child was probably going to be placed in a residential unit, for up to a year.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee be provided with details of the support given to the cases identified in the report.
