Children’s Social Care: Enduring Relationships Strategy

Contribution

With a new measure of relationships sitting at the heart of the system, we also need to support practitioners to change what they do so that enduring relationships are strengthened. That is why today I am launching a national sprint to roll out family finding services across England by the end of the next two years. We know the impact that ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’-style services can have on building stronger tribes around young people, and we have already seen the impact of programmes such as Lifelong Links. These services need to become the mainstream offer, rather than pilots on the fringe of the system.
