The Commitment from Plymouth has been created with the help of young people from the Listen and Care Councils (LACC)The young people from the LACC groups are in care or care leavers and feel it is important that there is a commitment that we as professionals make to you.This is a commitment from us to you, to make sure you are listened to and given the best support. We believe that you are the most important person and should be put first and we will work hard towards supporting you to have a happy and enjoyable life.For more details about each commitment visit: www.plymouth.gov.uk/childrenandfamilies/lookedafterchildren
