Looked After Children Education Support - The LACES Team

 

 

When young people enter the care system their needs are individual and the support they are given has to be reviewed regularly, monitored and adapted.  For a great many of the children and young people, education remains the one really stable part of their lives. The LACES Team is here to ensure that all children and young people in care have access to good quality education, providing them with improved life chances.

 

Education matters to all children and young people. Valuing and supporting the education of children in public care is one of the most important contributions the Council can make to their lives, as education is crucial to their emotional well-being and future life chances. We must have high aspirations for the children and young people for whom we have corporate parenting responsibility and ensure that they maximise their access to education so that they achieve their full potential.
