A welcome from the Corporate Director of Children and Young People

Thank you for your interest in joining our Children and Young People’s service.

As the new Director for Children and Young People, here in North Yorkshire I am excited to announce significant investment in our children and families service.

More capacity. More prevention. Better outcomes.

Be part of a service investing in family help and sustainable practice.

Across local government, children’s services are facing unprecedented demand and funding constraint. Many organisations are responding by reducing capacity and narrowing ambition. We have chosen a different path. In response to the Families First Partnership Programme reforms, we in NYC are seeking to expand out teams in order to drive the changes of supporting children and their families at the earliest opportunity, right time, right person.

We are making a significant and sustained investment in our workforce—creating new and additional capacity across children’s social care, which will become Family help and our Multi agency child protections teams. At a time when others are making savings, we are growing our teams because we believe that safe, effective and relationship based practice relies on practitioners having the time, support and professional space to do their best work, with children.
