Who Are We?

 

The Service is managed by the Directorate of Children's Services.

 

The LACES Team consists of teachers, a social worker, an education welfare and liaison officer, an ICT support worker, a Connexions PA and support staff.

 

Corporate Parenting

The whole Local Authority, not just Children's Services, has a responsibility to act as a ‘Corporate Parent’ for children in care and to provide the kind of loyal support that any good parent would give to their children.

 

The Local Authority has a duty to promote the Educational Achievement of all Looked After Children (Children Act 2004).
