Key Responsibilities • Keeping our children and young people safe and healthy • Making sure they live with people who care about them • Giving them opportunities to grow and learn, as any good parent would • Making sure they have decent homes as they become independent • Helping them to get on in the world

  4. The Pledge • We will try very hard to make sure that you live with people who care about you and care for you. • We will help you to keep in touch with your family. • We will help you to make friends and build relationships. • We will believe in you and support you to do well in education, training and employment. • We will encourage you to think about your dreams and achieve your ambitions. • We will make sure that there is a way to make things happen for you.

  5. The Pledge • We will make sure you can talk to the adults who make decisions that affect you. • We will make sure you have someone who will listen, that you can talk to about how we look after you. • We will keep things confidential unless action is needed to keep people safe. • We will support you if you feel that you are being treated unfairly. • We will support individuals and groups to deal with bullying, wherever it happens. • We will explain what words mean and things that you do not understand.

  6. The Pledge- the Challenge • Ensuring that the Pledge is used to develop each individual child’s Care Plan. • Ensuring the development of policies and procedures that support the full implementation of the Pledge. • Supporting the development of a Children in Care Council, in a form to be identified in partnership with children and young people. • Any other issues identified by the Corporate Parenting Board
