Due to demands of COVID-19 and rising living costs, more money and better financial security is needed for families. East Lothian is #KeepingThePromise through cash first initiatives meaning families can make the best choice for them. (4/7)
East Lothian Council is on a journey to support families so they can be together where possible, but there is still more work to do and we can’t do this alone. That’s why we value partnership working and collaboration to ensure #WeWillKeepThePromise (7/7)
We’ve appointed a permanent Education Support Officer specifically to support our Care Experienced Children and Young People, working with them to make sure they receive high quality education and support. #KeepThePromise (5/7)
We know children and families want to stay together. We’re working with our partners and WFWF to support families so they can remain together where it’s safe to do so, and reduce the need for children and young people to live elsewhere. #WholeFamilyWellbeingFund (2/7)
Listening to children and their families has to be a key part of every decision that we make. We listened to our young people who have helped us co-design our youth strategy. We have also invested in specialist youth work provision in all six localities. #StillLotsToDo (3/7)
Using the correct language when talking about care and our young people is empowering and reduces stigma. Each and Every Child has been working with us, @ELCouncil Corporate Parenting Board and @ELChampsBoard to support our journey with reframing our language. (6/7)
@OrmistonPrimary can you please confirm if the children will be leaving their pencils and stuff at school or will they need to bring them home everyday
