The lead member for children's services (LMCS) has a statutory role in ensuring the council fulfils its duty for safeguarding children; in partnership with education, childcare and health services, the police and communities.
The council becomes the corporate parent for children removed from their families into care, and must exercise scrutiny and challenge to ensure the best possible outcomes for them.
