ABOUT US

We place children and young people at the heart of all we do to enable them to achieve their potential and lead fulfilling lives.
We are ambitious in building a stronger Solihull for our children, families and workforce in Solihull. Connecting Families is Solihull Children’s Services’ practice framework.
At its core, Connecting Families demonstrates the beliefs, values and principles of restorative practice and gives us a consistent relationship-based way of practicing to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families.
We believe that families and their connected networks are of primary importance in improving outcomes for children. Children and their family networks are experts in their own lives; they have strengths which they should be empowered to build and draw on through effective family decision making.
