Dear BALC Mailbox,

On the London Councils website, it says:

"London Care Services (LCS) assists local authorities deliver high quality services for children in their care and helps to ensure that the children have access to services that enable them to thrive and reach their full potential.

LCS is provided by London Councils and governed by the Association of London Directors of Children’s Services (ALDCS). LCS members include all the London boroughs, the City of London and three partner authorities (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Milton-Keynes)".

For this reason, you are connected and not a "private organisation".

Please may I now have the information?

Yours sincerely,

Oriel Hutchinson
