Children's Social Work: Our Vision

Transforming the way serve children and young people

Our plans for the development and improvement of Rotherham Children and Young People's services form part of a new, over-arching strategy that will ultimately reform and transform the way we serve the children, young people and families of Rotherham.

Powerful Pledges, Key Outcomes

In straightforward terms, this strategy can be distilled into some simple but powerful pledges, three key outcomes will be our measure of success:

We want to be sure that:

• Children and young people are healthy and safe from harm
• Children and young people start school ready to learn for life
• Children, young people and their families are ready for the world of work

Rights and Voice of the Child

Most importantly of all, we will be focusing on the rights and voice of the child, ensuring they are not just safe but also getting the best possible start in life. Our job is to maximise the life chances of the most vulnerable children in our community.

And our vision will steer our course as we strive to do that.
