Minutes: The Leader of the Council considered a report which sought to re-establish the Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee, confirm its terms of reference, and appoint Members to serve on this advisory Cabinet sub-Committee.
The report also sought to confirm the terms of reference of the Community Safety Partnership and appoint members to this statutory partnership body.
RESOLVED
1. To re-establish the Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee, and that the terms of reference for this advisory Sub Committee, attached at Appendix A be noted.
2. To note the Community Safety Partnership terms of reference attached at Appendix B;
3. To appoint the following Members to serve on the Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee and Community Safety Partnership:
Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee Chair – Cllr Brabazon Cabinet Member for Children, Schools, and Families Cllr Ali Cllr Collett Cllr Johnson Cllr Opoku Cllr Weston Cllr Isilar-Gosling
Community Safety Partnership Cabinet Member for Communities(as Co-Chair) Cabinet Member for Children, Schools, & Families Cllr da Costa
Reasons for decision Establishing a Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee ensures that there is an overview of the Councillors statutory role as a corporate parent, assisting the Council to deliver its duties to children in care and young people leaving care.
Appointments from Cabinet are required to the Community Safety Partnership to reflect statutory duties and enable high level, accountable, strategic, oversight of issues relating community safety.
Alternative options considered
The alternative option would be for the Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee to cease and this would mean that there is not a scheduled opportunity for members and officers to meet and discuss the wellbeing of children in care and to ensure that the Council is meeting its corporate parenting obligations. This Committee is different to the Children and Young People’s Scrutiny Panel as it concentrates on Looked After Children and care leavers and reports directly to the Cabinet.
The Community Safety Partnership is a statutory partnership body and therefore not appointing Cabinet Members to this body is not an option.
