Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
That's very good of you to offer that. I have run slightly over, but it was important to do so, I think, and any follow-up that you think either we've missed or you would like to add further, then please do follow up in writing and keep an eye on what's going…

If you can try to be concise in that answer, as I know it's quite a long question, but as concise as possible, that would be great.

25 April 2022Petitions Committee
Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you. I think that's a question that we will certainly ask ourselves, but I think it's one for the Minister as well, that perhaps she can address as well. And I look forward to tomorrow's visit with Buffy Williams to Voices from Care and having…

25 April 2022Petitions Committee
Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Can I ask: do you think there needs to be, perhaps, more work done around allowing those care-experienced parents to share their voice? Is that avenue there? Is that all there for them already, or is that something that certainly needs to be looked at? And…

Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you for that. If the data could be broken down into care—. That would be really great for the committee to see and to evaluate. We've got about five minutes or so—just over five minutes—left, but I'll bring in Joel James.

Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you, Julie. I want to move on. I'll stay on the airwaves, because I know Members have got some more questions, and I'm just conscious of time, but if there are further comments that you'd like to make, then please follow up by writing; that would be…

25 April 2022Petitions Committee
Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Yes, that would certainly be very useful for the committee to consider. We will move on now to questions from Members. We'll go across the area. I've done what a Chair of the committee should never do and take too much time on their own questions, but it's…

Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you, Sally. Thank you, all. It's pleasing for me, in a personal capacity, to hear you talk about trauma-informed approaches, because I don't think we talk about that enough. With that trauma, then—. Sally, you mentioned at the end that the individuals…

Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you for that, Julie; that's really important. And the data that you've collected there, we'd be grateful if you'd share that with the clerking team, if that's appropriate. I think that would be helpful in our next steps and consideration as well.

Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
I know that Members will go on to have some questions around services like the Baby and Me project with Barnardo's a bit later on, so perhaps we won't go into that now. We are certainly considering next steps of where to take this petition. Julie.
25 April 2022Petitions Committee
Evidence session - P-06-1161 Routine collection and publication of data of how many babies/children return to their care experienced parents care at the end of a Parent and Child Placement
Thank you all for that. If I can start and jump straight into some questions from Members today. I'll start by asking, are care-experienced parents more at risk of having involvement from children's services, and having their children removed? Is this group…
