Children's services
The pressures on children’s social care are unrelenting, with increasing demand and constant strain on budgets.
​
Local authorities face a range of day-to-day challenges including difficulty in recruitment and retention of social workers, the high cost of placements for looked after children, and growing demands from SEND.
​
We can support councils to develop innovative approaches to tackling these issues, based on deep knowledge and experience of children's services.
