Report CEF22004

 

The report provided a self-evaluation of London Borough of Bromley’s (LBB) practice against The Children Private Fostering Arrangements for Fostering Regulations 2005. The report also gave details of the circumstances of children identified as Privately Fostered.

 

The Committee noted that the table detailing the ethnicity of children in private fostering arrangements during 2020/21 would be circulated following the meeting.

 

Noting that the report made reference to ensuring that the child’s needs arising from faith, race, cultural and education were met, a Member sought and received assurances that consideration was also given to meeting any needs around sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

 

The Chairman noted that it was a very interesting report reflecting a lot of detail.

 

RESOLVED: That the Portfolio Holder recommended to endorse the annual report.
