Every Child Matters
Our aspirations for children in care are no less than those each parent has for their own children. Children in care are often in much greater need than other children but much less likely to get the help they require. We aim to create an organisation that provides every child with a safe, happy, healthy, secure and loving childhood, nurturing their aspirations and enabling them to fulfil their potential.
The Every Child Matters agenda has provided a framework within which to check and measure our services to young people. This has proved extremely valuable and all aspects of our work now link to the five outcomes.
All staff are trained to recognise where their practice delivery relates to the five outcomes and how this provides for an improved service to our young people.
Young people are informed of how we work with the five outcomes to improve the service we provide for them.
Weekly or monthly reports are provided for social workers and if appropriate parents for all our young people, these reports are always presented with the five outcomes as section headings.
