Corporate Parenting Strategy 2025
乱伦大神 Council has formally approved a Corporate Parenting Strategy 2025鈥�2030 - a bold and forward-thinking plan that places care experienced children and young people at the heart of decision-making. Accompanying the strategy is a comprehensive Action Plan designed to deliver real, lasting change.
Co-produced with care experienced children and young people, staff, elected members, and a wide range of partners, the strategy sets out 11 core principles and 9 promises, aligned to the Welsh Government鈥檚 Corporate Parenting Charter 鈥� A Promise for Wales (2023), which was endorsed in August 2024 by the Cabinet Member for Social Services and the Council鈥檚 Chief Executive.

Corporate Parenting is a legal duty for councils and their partners to act as any responsible and loving parent would. 乱伦大神鈥檚 new Strategy raises the bar 鈥� not only meeting statutory obligations but going further to create a culture of high aspiration, emotional support and opportunity.
The Action Plan contains 70 smart actions designed to strengthen multi-agency collaboration, improve outcomes in education, health, housing and employment, and reduce inequalities. These actions directly support the Council鈥檚 wider commitments as a Marmot Council 鈥� tackling the social determinants of health and embedding a preventative, whole-system approach.
The Strategy was shaped through extensive engagement, including workshops with care experienced young people. A wide range of voices - from social workers to service users, schools to housing providers - were central in its development.
By taking a whole-system, preventative approach, this strategy represents a major step forward in 乱伦大神鈥檚 journey to create better outcomes for care experienced children - and a stronger, more compassionate society for all.
