Allowed for the payment of a
'market supplement' to Childcare social work staff as part of the local
Recruitment & Retention Strategy. Failure to address this issue would
have contributed to a continuing decline in our ability to attract and retain
appropriately qualified staff to undertake statutory duties in respect of
children in need. |

This has enabled the provision
of an enhanced package of support to foster carers and has been the subject
of a detailed report to Select Committee in October 2003. Feedback from
foster carers indicates a recognition that the Council has begun to recognise
the need to support them in the task they undertake and has contributed to
some improvement in recruitment. |

50,000 |
|
To
provide additional funding to support carers working with young people with
particularly challenging behaviour and who may be excluded from school and to
support a range of additional training needs for foster carers on the Island.
The increasing demands and expectations on foster carers make it imperative
that they receive approppriate practical and financial support and training
in undertaking their role. Investment in this regard is critical to the
Council's recruitment and retention approach for Island foster carers. |

|
| Childrens Disability |
|
50,000 |

demands on the CDT and to promote the take up of Direct Payments to parents
of children with a disability. Over the past few years demands on the CDT
have outpaced available resources and the team's capacity to respond. This
funding supports a priority service area in meeting the Council's obligations
to children with a disability. |
