Every member of staff, every councillor, every partner in Sefton is a corporate parent. A corporate parent is responsible for the children in care to them. They are responsible for providing standards of care that would be good enough for their own children.
We ask ourselves: If this were my child, would it be good enough?
In Sefton, we are very proud of our corporate parenting role and all of the children in our care.
Sefton Council's Corporate Parenting Strategy sets out the vision and plans for fulfilling our key responsibilities and ambitions to all of our cared for children and care experienced young people.

The strategy demonstrates our commitment to hold ourselves and our partner agencies to account as corporate parents, and to ensure that the life chances of every child and young person in our care are the best they can be.
