Corporate Parenting
The three key elements of corporate parenting are:
- The statutory duty on all parts of South Lanarkshire Council to co-operate in promoting the welfare of children and young people who are looked after by us, and a duty on other agencies to co-operate with the council in fulfilling that duty.
- Co-ordinating the activities of the many different professionals and carers who are involved in a child or young person's life, and taking a strategic, child-centred approach to service delivery.
- Shifting the emphasis from 'corporate' to 'parenting', taking all actions necessary to promote and support the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of a child from infancy to adulthood.
