Corporate Parenting Clause Samples

The Corporate Parenting clause establishes the responsibilities and obligations of a parent company in relation to its subsidiaries. Typically, this clause outlines the extent to which the parent company will support, oversee, or guarantee the actions and liabilities of its subsidiaries, such as providing financial backing or ensuring compliance with certain standards. Its core practical function is to clarify the relationship and accountability between the parent and its subsidiaries, thereby allocating risk and ensuring that stakeholders understand the level of support or oversight provided by the parent company.
Corporate Parenting. Ambition: (Strategic Objective) To ensure all students have access to comprehensive, appropriate and responsive support services. And to provide sector leading support for Care Experienced young people in particular In addition to its commitment to support all vulnerable students, the College is fulfilling its corporate parenting obligations from the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. It has nominated a senior manager (Assistant Principal Student Life and Skills) with a lead role in ensuring compliance with the legislation and best practice in the provision of support and educational opportunities for this vulnerable group, whilst at the same time recognising the corporate parenting responsibilities of all staff to support the ethos of corporate parenting. We regard this group as having a protected characteristic and will therefore monitor, evaluate and revise our practices and procedures in order to improve the outcomes for this group of students in line with our quality assurance and equalities policies. We will evaluate our progress towards improving outcomes for this group of vulnerable students with reference to the targets detailed in our operational plans and Corporate Parenting Action Plan. Curriculum staff consider the needs of Care Experienced students and adapt course delivery or attendance requirements where possible.

Scotland and Celcis) to: encourage early disclosure, facilitate ease of transition and identification of appropriate course options, provide targeted support, be responsive to need, raise aspirations improve outcomes. Quick and easy access to the SAS team is facilitated by the establishment of a dedicated email address and the Pure Chat facility. This has enabled successful promotion of our services and the regular contacts and inter- agency visits have proved to be an effective method of improving communication, sharing information and enhancing personal support for the students and their carers. The College is listed in the national FE Handbook for Care Experienced young people; has committed to the Scottish Care Leavers Covenant; has signed the “Pledge2Listen” and is the only college represented in the STAF (Scottish Throughcare and Aftercare Forum) Policy Focus Group.
