Purpose

Every top tier local authority is required to publish a
sufficiency strategy. This must set out how we seek to avoid
children coming into care through the provision of family support
services, and identify steps that we are taking to ensure that we
have sufficient placements for children in care in our area, so
that as many children and young people in care can live locally,
provided that this is in their best interests.

Decision

Cabinet RESOLVED
to:

 

1.    
Agree that the implementation of
the Sufficiency Statement should proceed, and:

 

2.    
Extend thanks to
Peterborough’s Children in Care and Care Leaders for their
contributions in developing the Sufficiency Statement
2025-2029.
