Report CSD18020

The Committee considered its forward work programme, the schedule of Council Members’ visits and matters arising from previous meetings.

The Vice-Chairman reported that she had undertaken a range of work to explore how the Shared Lives Service might be further developed, including researching best practice by other local authorities with similar schemes.  A number of additional foster carers had recently been recruited and it had been recognised that the Local Authority was performing well in this area in comparison to neighbouring local authorities with 32 service users benefitting from the Bromley Shared Lives scheme against 29 and 25 service users in the London Boroughs of Lewisham and Bexley respectively.  A further update would be provided to the next meeting of Care Services PDS Committee on 27^th June 2018.

RESOLVED that the Care Services forward work programme, the schedule of Council Members’ visits and matters arising from previous meetings be noted.
