Minutes:

Councillor Jeff Morgan informed Cabinet that there had been a Foster Carer Association in the past but that had fallen into disuse. It was now being rejuvenated but in order for this to happen, resources would be needed. The purpose of the association would be to improve partnership working and encourage people to become foster carers. The proposal was welcomed by Councillor Pam Williams.

 

Resolved:

 

That Cabinet:

 

1. Supports the Warwickshire Foster Carer Association (WFCA)

applying for charitable status.

 

2. Approves and authorises the Strategic Director for People to provide

the Warwickshire Foster Carer Association with £15,000 towards

their set up costs for establishing the charity for the financial year

2020/21 and to make a further payment of £10,000 to the charity for

the year 2021/22, subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the

Strategic Director for Resources.
