As a council and as your corporate parent we want our commitment to you to run through everything that we do, so in addition to the specific support set out in other sections of this local offer we strive to:
- Consult with you and evaluate any impact of policies and changes to policy that could affect you.
- Ensure that you have a central part in the recruitment of staff across all roles and at all levels in the Children and Young People Service and the Council – especially those that have responsibilities for or have a key role with care leavers.
- Provide mentoring opportunities for you from directors and senior managers within the council.
