Looked After Children Theme Group

The LAC Group has representatives from a range of agencies such as Health and the voluntary
sector, and Council Departments, which meet regularly to examine issues particularly relating
to the needs of Looked After Children and Young People in Dundee, and to collectively develop
and implement strategies for addressing these needs and improving life outcomes for looked
after children and young people.

The term "looked after children" (LAC) refers to children and young people who are subject to a
legal supervision requirement, who may continue to live with parents or other family members,
as well as those children and young people who are required to live with foster carers or in a
residential setting. Those children who are looked after away from their own home are
considered to be "looked after and accommodated".

Children and young people can become "looked after" for many reasons.

These could include:

• physical abuse or neglect;

• emotional abuse;

• sexual abuse;

• some may have suffered the death of a parent, or have parents who can’t look after
them properly because of illness, lifestyle or other family circumstances;

• others may have disabilities and many different needs; and

• a small number are looked after and accommodated due to offences they have
committed.

This group facilitates a co-ordinated response to housing regeneration needs in the City and to
satisfy the emerging need for a better strategic approach to housing developments.

Group membership is open to all housing providers in the City, Communities Scotland and

Development, Communities and Corporate Planning.

The group forms a cross cutting theme group within the Dundee Partnership.

needs of housing across the City.

Broad principles of the remit:

• to establish a structural framework for partnership working among housing providers and
enablers which will benefit the citizens and communities of Dundee;

• to ensure that all stakeholders are fully engaged in the formulation of strategies and plans
which impact on the housing environment;

• to agree and implement consultation processes for the preparation and review of key plans
strategies and policies impacting on the housing environment and providers;

• to ensure that the Local Housing Strategy, Strategic Housing Investment Plan, Local Plan
and other Plans developed by partner agencies consistently promote the regeneration
strategy agreed within the Partnership;

• to agree the priorities and processes for the delivery of the housing investment programme
in Dundee;

• to work jointly to influence national policies, decision making processes and resource
allocation to the benefit of Dundee;

• to achieve measurable outcomes

STRATEGIC INFORMATION AND MONITORING GROUP

Remit

1. Establish an integrated and co-ordinated information network in order that strategic
information is available to feed into the policy, implementation and decision making
processes across the Council.

2. Ensure that access routes to strategic information resources are well known and
encourage the use of strategic information to:

• implement corporate objectives
• tailor resource allocation and the delivery of services
• inform forward planning
• enable monitoring and evaluation

3. Develop the use of channels/networks for communication of strategic information.

4. Inform Departments of what information is available, where it is kept and how it can be
made available to them (ie a network of contacts is in place and as such the expertise
and skills of those working in the fields of research and information is utilised to meet
the requirements of the Council).

5. Provide an input/feedback mechanism into external groups such as the Dundee
Partnership and the COSLA Research and Information groups.
