Statement of Purpose for Coppets Road Children's Hoe,

Meeting: 24/01/2011 - Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee (Item 56)

Statement of Purpose for Coppets Road Children's Home

Members to consider the Statement of Purpose for Coppets Road Children’s Home.

Minutes:

The Committee were advised that a statement of purpose had been drafted for the relaunched Muswell House in line with the statutory duty. The Home would transition from a generic unit to a short term assessment unit. It was intended that the Home would ultimately offer a preventative service for placements at risk and take emergency admissions. 

 

The Committee considered that a maximum length stay be identified within the statement of purpose to reflect the shift towards being a short term assessment centre.

 

It was advised that any further comments from Committee members should be submitted by 11 February to the Head Of Service, Commissioning & Placements.
