“Social workers are rightly very proud of their work with families” – Ofsted July 2022
Practice and oversight of children who go missing is effective, and there are well-coordinated responses when children are at risk of exploitation, including children in care. Direct work and support offered by the vulnerable, exploited, missing and trafficked team are helping to reduce children’s risks. (OFSTED, November 2022)
