The Head of Innovation and Children’s Champion presented the report and reported that the new local offer had been drafted following extensive consultation with care leavers. He then noted that the sentence on page 13 of the report which read: “Provide financial help with things you need like travel, getting to school/college/work, seeing family, new clothes and fees for…”, would be completed within the finalised version of the offer.
Resolved: That the Executive Member endorsed the new enhanced Offer for Care Leavers.
