A message from the London Borough of Redbridge: Do you know of a child who is being cared for by someone who is not a close relative for more than 28 days? It is required by law for Children’s Services to be notified of these arrangements to ensure the safety of the child. Redbridge Council are holding a Private Awareness Session online on MS Teams on 5th November 11am until 12pm and would encourage you and relevant members of your team to attend to find out more about what these arrangements are and when we would need to be legally notified. Please visit www.redbridge.gov.uk/private-fostering or https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1737520764379?aff=oddtdtcreator to book a place. Private fostering describes an arrangement when someone who is not a close relative cares for another person’s child under the age of 16 (18 if disabled) for 28 days or more. A close relative is considered to be an aunt, uncle, grandparent, step parent or siblings. Other family members such as cousins or great aunts are not classed as close relatives for the purposes of Private Fostering. Private Fostering also includes families hosting overseas students being educated in the UK. To notify us about a private fostering arrangement in Redbridge, please contact Redbridge Children’s Services on 020 8708 3885 or by email CPAT.Referrals@redbridge.gov.uk For more information please visit our website: https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/private-fostering

📚✨ A Story of Perseverance from Year 8 ✨📚 Success does not always come with trophies — sometimes, it looks like a friendly competition between classmates, each pushing themselves to do their very best. In a recent English lesson, our Year 8 students challenged each other to write the most compelling article — and the most words! The excitement was real as they compared their work, word counts and ideas. 👏 Huge shoutout to: • Maghizhini – 319 words • Luca – 609 words • Viktoriia – 915 words!📚 These students are growing every day, not just through their writing, but through their determination to aim higher and support one another. 💪📝📚
