explain the term?

So corporate parenting is where they have to, everything that they do they have to think about is this good enough for my child so any policies procedures anything like that they have to think how can i be a good parent and they call it corporate parenting it's not a great name but but that's in essence what it is and but what is happening across the whole piece is that local authorities are getting swamped their their budgets are getting wasted and and basically They're the corporate parent, but the people...

Like, when a care experience people goes out into society and they ask to navigate the NHS system or the justice system or the DWP, if they're not corporate parents as well and they're not thinking about care experience people, then the whole system breaks down and it causes blockages.

So one of Josh's recommendations, which I was heavily pushing on, was to make it so that that corporate parenting duty extended... to other government departments such as the justice and prisons and that's right now happening thanks to Josh really pushing that agenda when he came into government and became the minister for children.

So that was one of the things that I pushed was the corporate parenting and then the other one was to create a protected characteristic for care experience people.

So at the moment we have nine protected characteristics such as disability, race, sex.

And what that means in effect is there's two parts to protected characteristics.

What would you say if you were to sort of crystallize it all? concentrate it down, what's that been for you? Of all of these experiences, what would you say that bit of gold, that nugget that you can offer back to people?
