Exempt Performance Information
To consider specified performance data for Children in Care.
Minutes:
The Committee considered a number of case examples linked to key performance data with the aim of making the data more ‘live’. It was agreed that the case examples were useful and it was requested that future examples be provided on larger sibling groups, cases where placement stability had been an issue and cases of young people going missing.
Concerns were raised about Committee members not having a full understanding of how cases were progressed and the stages and process for these. It was however recognised that focus needed to be maintained on the overall picture for CiC and not individual cases and as such, it was agreed that this could be an area to be explored with the CiC Council to allow more general discussions on young people’s experience of the care system.
