Update 12.05.2020

12th May 2020

Dear Parents and Carers

Two updates for you today:

• The Department for Education has asked for this updated information on school closure to be circulated to parents and carers:

- https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers. 

• The Local Authority has asked schools to circulate this notice about fostering:

Foster for us and enquire today

Can you consider fostering in support of this year’s Foster Care Fortnight 11^th – 24^th May 2020.

There are around 1000 children & young people across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, particularly teenagers and children over ten, who need the love and support from foster carers. Anyone who is interested can find out more about the process by phone or video call and ask any questions they may have about becoming a foster carer and what’s involved.

Foster Care Fortnight is the UK’s largest foster care awareness raising campaign, and aims to show the positive impact foster care has made on children’s and young people’s lives.

We are encouraging people from all walks of life to consider fostering – and we want to hear from anyone who is over 21, has a spare bedroom and the passion and dedication to help children and teenagers thrive.

People should not rule themselves out because they have children, are single, married or partnered, work, unemployed, live in rented accommodation or want to foster past retirement age.

If you would like to register your interest then please visit:  www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/fostering or www.peterborough.gov.uk/fostering  Or call 0800 052 0078

I hope that home-schooling is going as well as possible.

Take care of yourselves,

Claire Coates
