Our new co-parenting strategy (3.26mB) is now online for you to read. Children and young people’s views are at the heart of this strategy and our Pledge Promises within it. Young people from the Children in Care Council volunteered a lot of their time to help shape the strategy, being particularly persuasive about changing the language from Corporate Parenting to Co-Parenting. Which we did! We would like to thank the young people for being so committed to improving how we co-parent in Essex.

Please take the time to see what we want to achieve for children and young people in our care and see our Pledge Promises that we have made.

Please contact us at involvement@essex.gov.uk if you’d like to comment on the strategy, would like further support to understand it, or would like to become more involved in the Children in Care Council.
