Promoting The Educational Achievement Of Looked After Children And Young People
EDM number 735 in 2004-05, proposed by Hilton Dawson on 21/02/2005.
That this House recognises that looked-after children and young people have enormous talent and resilience which will only be fully developed with the utmost support of concerned adults; welcomes the requirement on local authorities to promote the educational achievement of all looked-after children and young people under the Children Act 2004; expresses serious concern that the proposed outcomes framework is far too general; and urges the Government to impose much tighter requirements to ensure that councillors and officials give the same commitment to corporate parenting as they do to their own children.
This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
