West Midlands Children’s Services Information

The West Midlands DCS Network is on a self-determined journey to be the best region for Children Services in the country. We plan to achieve this through collaborative, self-improvement, building on the annual self- evaluation and peer review and promoting best practice. We intend the West Midlands to be a place where children and young people thrive and families are supported, inspired by a dedicated workforce keeping children and young people safe. Where we will consistently deliver good and increasingly outstanding, education, health and wellbeing outcomes for all our young West Midlands citizens. The four pillars for change that we are using to underpin the journey to achieving our ambition are: Improve the Quality of Practice Workforce and Leadership (A Phased Approach) Managing Risk and Demand (A Region of Improved Local Authorities) Educational Outcomes, Skills and Economy Visit www.teamwm.org.uk for more
