The children's social care services at Peterborough City
Council continue to expand to ensure that we provide high quality
services to children and young people within the
community. For this reason the highest
priority for children’s social care is to ensure that we have a
workforce that is highly valued, fit for the present and the
future, well qualified and well supported in what they do and
committed to continuous professional development. The authority
is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of
children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to
share this commitment.
