We are proud of our strong relational approach to social work practice and are ambitious for our children and young people. We want them to help us to shape the services that support and care for them and for them to be centrally involved in the decisions that affect their care and their lives. We have ambitious plans to ensure we continue to develop sufficient loving homes close to Gateshead which you will support us to develop and deliver.
