Cllr Richard Watts Executive Member <strong>for</strong> <strong>Children</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Families<br />

Nothing is more important to <strong>Islington</strong> <strong>Council</strong> than how we look after the children<br />

in our care. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s commitment to our corporate parenting duties shines<br />

through this revised <strong>Children</strong> <strong>Looked</strong> <strong>After</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>for</strong> 2011-2014.<br />

I am pleased that looked after children <strong>and</strong> young people have been involved in<br />

developing the plan <strong>and</strong> are in support of its aims <strong>and</strong> objectives. <strong>After</strong> all, they<br />

are the experts in the services they receive.<br />

I am also pleased that there is a clear commitment from across the range of<br />

partner organisations working with our looked after children to improve the quality<br />

of service they receive.<br />

This plan sets out both how, working together, the <strong>Council</strong> <strong>and</strong> our partners will<br />

work to improve the life chances of young people in care through ensuring safe,<br />

nurturing <strong>and</strong> stable placements leading to our young people making a<br />

successful transition to adulthood.<br />
