 As the Cabinet Member, it is a huge honour for me today to be able to contribute a few words with others as we launch our promise to our children and young people. As the Chair of the Corporate Parenting Panel, alongside my fellow elected members, it was a huge pleasure to be part of working with our children, our young people and our professionals in making a positive contribution to this piece of work, where you told us what mattered to you most in terms of your health and happiness, your support and advice needs, your education, training and work needs and ultimately your needs for when you leave care. So we very much look forward to continuing to work with you, continuing to listen to your views, supporting your needs and just being a very good friend. So earlier this year we set about developing the promise and this was done by a board of professionals coming together including children who had been in care and care leavers like myself to discuss the issues with the care system. Prior to discussing the issues that we felt was important, we took time to have a look at the feedback received by care leavers and children in care and their views on the system. This included not being able to see my family enough or I ended up in prison. We then set about to develop the pledges and the promise that West Sussex would provide to children in care and care leavers. We also aimed to reduce the number of social workers in one person's life. We also felt that it was important that care leavers should have continued help even after turning 18. We thought that this report should be around the clock and not just Monday to Friday at 9-5 because emergencies can happen at any time. West Sussex are working hard to improve the lives of children in care and care leavers. They are listening and acting upon the feedback given. I am optimistic that these new pledges will positively impact in the lives of children and care leavers. Thank you for listening. Hello there as Executive Director for Children, Young People and Learning. I'm absolutely delighted that we're launching the promise for our children in care and care leavers and run improvement journey. It's really important that we're partners in our communities to give the best offer to our children and young people. Hi everyone, I'm Natalie Bromapurl and I'm the Chief Executive of Crawley Borough Council in West Sussex. I'm really delighted to be part of the promise for West Sussex children and young people. I think it's absolutely essential that district and borough councils support our children in growing up in our areas. I'd like to ensure that Crawley Borough Council can do what it can to ensure that you grow up in our borough in our town as part of our community. That we can help you along with the pledges made in the promise to ensure that your experience in care and preparing to leave care is the best that it can be. Thank you.
