Cabinet approved the Waltham Forest
Children’s Sufficiency Strategy 2024- 2027.
 

Options & Alternatives Considered
In assessing the future
strategic options for the adoption of Waltham Forest
Children’s Sufficiency Strategy 2024-2027 for Children Looked
After (CLA) and Care Leavers the following were considered: -
Adopting the Waltham
Forest Children’s Sufficiency Strategy 2024-2027 supports the
council in fulfilling its statutory duties as a Corporate Parent.
Having an updated strategy in place supports implementation of the
strategic direction and detailed action plan that these documents
provide. This will ensure the London Borough of Waltham Forest is
compliant in meeting its statutory duties in having a robust
Sufficiency Strategy in place detailing its vision, principles, and
priorities for supporting the accommodation needs of children in
care and care leavers. The document presents the ambition of the
council in improving the experiences and outcomes for children and
young people in the borough. 
This is the recommended
option.
Cabinet could choose not
to adopt the Strategy but for the reasons set out above this is not
recommended.
