Every child and young person in our care deserves the same support, and opportunities that any good parent would provide.

At Flintshire County Council, we take our role as corporate parents seriously. This means working together across all services, to ensure that children in care, and care leavers, are safe, nurtured, and empowered to thrive.

Why a Charter – What is it for? 

Our Corporate Parenting Charter sets out the promises and responsibilities we commit to as a collective. It is more than a policy—it is a pledge to put children and young people at the heart of everything we do.

The charter outlines how we will:

• Provide stability, care, and encouragement
• Support education, training, and employment opportunities
• Promote health, wellbeing, and positive relationships
• Help young people prepare for independence and adulthood
• Listen to their voices and act on their views

By embracing these principles, we aim to create a community where every child in our care feels valued, respected, and supported to reach their full potential.

You can explore the full details of our commitments in the Corporate Parenting Charter booklets, available through the links below.
