Children's Social Care provide care and support to some of the most vulnerable children in our community. It is a challenging and exciting area in which we can really expect to make a difference.

 

Our vision is to work in partnership with parents, carers, children and young people to provide effective services.  This in turn will actively secure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people, to promote their health, development and learning.  This will maximise each child's potential to succeed in all they do, both in the present and in the future.

 

Investing in services to children and families means investing in the workforce to deliver them. The workforce development strategy shows that we value staff for their essential contribution to achieving the best outcomes for children.  It means that staff can expect support to develop professionally and to carry out the demands of their role.

 

We look forward to welcoming all new staff who want to be part of this vision and to share in the success of rapidly improving front line services.
