David Cameron, Chair of the Outdoor Connections Advisory Group Foreword by Councillor Linda Munro – Children’s Champion Outdoor Learning To skip and to tumble, to run and to roam, to hide and to seek, to fall and to rise; seeing pictures in clouds and stars in the night sky; puddles for jumping and trees that were ever, ever so high. That is how I remember playing. It was always outside, with friends of mixed ages and the oldest in charge. That was child’s play. My childhood took place, first, on the tenement streets of the Gorbals and then, when I was six-years old, our family had a real rise in status. The Glasgow Corporation gave us a house in the brand new Castlemilk housing scheme. My mother was ecstatic, a house with its own bathroom. Until then we went to the public baths.

  • Children's Services
    The Highland Council Redesign Board Workshop Agenda Item 14 February 2017 Report No Council Redesign: Children’s Services Report by Review Team Leader Summary This report provides a final report from the Council Redesign team which was tasked to examine Children’s Services. It provides information on the service and specific recommendations on further work that could achieve savings and improvements in future service delivery and outcomes for children. 1. Background 1.1 Two functions were identified for review: looked after children and children in residential care. Looked After Children encompasses all placement types: residential care; fostering; adoption; kinship and looked after at home. The council is responsible for these functions although a range of partner agencies have some Corporate Parenting responsibilities. 1.2 Looked after children (LAC) This function involves the planning, intervention and support for looked after children and aftercare services for formerly looked after children. This is a statutory, regulated function with little discretion for the Council as standards are set nationally in regulation and with consequences on the size of expenditure. 1.3 Residential care This function relates to our duty to provide appropriate accommodation for looked after children. It involves in-house and commissioned places for looked after children, and the coordination of placements. This is a statutory, regulated function but with discretion for Council in relation to the type of accommodation used. The main legislation is contained in the Children (Scotland) Act 1995; the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001; and the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. Placement services are regulated and inspected by the Care Inspectorate regardless of the provider.
