Agenda item - Ethical Care Charter

Notice of Motion referred from the Council meeting held on the 30^th January 2014 (copy attached).

7.1            The Board considered a Notice of Motion, concerning the Ethical Care Charter approved by the Council on the 30^th January 2014 and referred to the Board for consideration; along with a briefing paper from the Executive Director for Children’s Services.

7.2            The Board welcomed the briefing paper and noted that there were 12 providers across the city and that aspects of the Charter had already been included in current contractual arrangements.  The Board also noted that there had been a move to more flexible provision of support plans and whilst there was a preference to phase out zero our contracts, it was recognised that in some cases they may be preferred by some care workers.

7.3            RESOLVED: That the notice of motion and the action being taken to provide future arrangements for the commissioning of care be noted.
