children’s social care and education support services to other local
authorities, schools and partners in the education, health, social care and
criminal justice sectors. We strive to achieve excellence in everything we do by
putting children and young people first in the design, delivery and evaluation
of every service we provide, to ensure that they are supported to live safe,
happy, healthy and successful lives. Our broad service offer is informed by
leading practice and a strong evidence-base of what works best. It is guided by
our daily work with children and young people and the organisations that work
with us to help and support them. Our focus is always on maximising the use of
resources by creating economies of scale and reducing management and overhead
costs, so that we can ensure high quality frontline services that really deliver
results.
