Corporate Parenting Board
The Coventry City Council Corporate Parenting Board is constituted as a Cabinet Advisory Panel for looked after children. This Board is part of the quality assurance process to make sure that Coventry City Council is delivering on the promises made in the Pledge.
The Board is made up of elected members and co-opted people including young people, officers of the City Council and colleagues from partner agencies. This includes foster carer representatives.
The Board has a schedule of meetings across the year with a focus on various aspects of looked after children’s lives.
The Board takes its role as a corporate parent very seriously and this is a keystone in making sure outcomes for looked after children are the best they can be. The Corporate Parenting Board champions outcomes for looked after children and these are documented in an annual report published through the Cabinet Member Briefing for Children and Young People.
