Report CEF21039
The Fostering National Minimum Standards 2011 requires the Fostering Agency to produce a report on fostering activity (including private fostering) to the Agency Executive and an updated Statement of Purpose on an annual basis.
The Committee noted that there had been a significant (but understandable) reduction in the number of notifications from Independent Schools. Members further noted that there was a well resources training provision and training was currently being provided online on a quarterly basis.
The Director of Children’s Services highlighted the recognition that had been received from Ofsted for the inclusion of Private Fostering in the Local Authority’s Self-Evaluation.
RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder be recommended to endorse the Annual Report.
