Please see below a personal video message from Mike Burns, our HSCP’s Assistant Chief Officer for Children’s Services and North East Operations. In his video, Mike talks about some of the ways in which children, young people and families have been supported during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and thanks staff for all their incredible efforts. He also talks about Care Leavers Day (29 October), celebrating the achievements of the young people who we look after and care for on a day-to-day basis and recognising the work that we’ve been doing to support them.
