Dudley’s Children’s Social Care is structured into four main service areas, each dedicated to providing tailored support. Each of these areas reflects Dudley’s commitment to Restorative Practice, a value-led approach that focuses on working with families to achieve sustainable, strengths-based outcomes:
This team delivers Early Help services through five Family Hubs and initiatives like the Start for Life programme. Their goal is to build family resilience and address potential challenges before they escalate. With a focus on partnership and innovation, Family Solutions is leading efforts like the Early Years Transformation Academy, which enhances support for children during their critical first 1,001 days.
The Children’s Front Door is the first point of contact for families or professionals seeking help or raising concerns about a child. Social workers in this team collaborate with multi-agency partners to ensure families receive timely and effective support. Using restorative principles, they offer information, advice, and signposting to services like MASH/EDT and Targeted Early Help Teams.
This service upholds Dudley Council’s corporate parenting duties. Teams within this area manage children in care, support care-experienced young people, and oversee fostering and adoption services. Whether it’s finding permanent homes or offering therapeutic support, these teams are committed to ensuring every child has the best chance to thrive.
Social workers in this team provide personalised care for children with severe and profound disabilities, working alongside families and partners to create tailored support plans. Their goal is to promote independence and empower children to lead fulfilling lives as active members of their communities.
