Ofsted stated in 2022 that “Children benefit from a consistently high standard of social work practice. The commitment to children as a priority for the council and across the partnership is exemplary. Senior leaders have created a culture in which social work has flourished. It is based on the importance of relationships, and of promoting children’s sense of being loved and cared for. In 2024 during a focussed visit to our Care Leavers Service Ofsted stated “Personal advisers describe managers and senior leaders as visible and approachable. They say that they enjoy working in the North Lincolnshire care leaver service. One worker said, ‘It feels like a big family; we all bring something to our work with young people and we share the learning.
Care leavers have meaningful and trusted relationships with their workers, which endure into adulthood. Senior leaders and personal advisers embrace their corporate parenting role and go the extra mile for care leavers, constantly developing services that enhance young people’s experiences and result in positive outcomes.
