November/December 2025 – Update Newsletter
A message from Donna Ockenden
As we near the end of the year and the approach towards the festive period, we would like to thank you for your continued engagement with the Review team. As of 27/11/2025, there are 2,427 families included in the Review. We are proud of the huge amount of engagement the Review has had with stakeholders both locally and nationally, and have already begun to see the positive impact that this has brought about although there remains much more to do. We wish you happiness, peace and a restful festive period.
Very best wishes,
Donna Ockenden
