Peterborough’s children’s social care provides care and
support to some of the most vulnerable children in our communities.
It’s both challenging and exciting; we make a real difference to
children and their families and we are proud of what we do.
We are serious about making sure that every
child has the opportunity to succeed and we are changing the way we
do things to help every child achieve their potential. At the same
time as strengthening our core safeguarding services, we are
developing locally integrated models of family support. Our focus
is on quality through best practice and on maximising the life
chances of our most vulnerable children and young people.
Investing in services for children and their
families means investing in the people who deliver them. We support
social workers in Peterborough, with established Newly Qualified
and Post Qualifying schemes linked to our career progression
framework. As part of our improvements the city council is fully
committed to meeting the aspirations of the Social Work Task Force
and we are determined to make practicing in Peterborough a
professionally fulfilling and personally rewarding experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to
Peterborough.
