In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this.

There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services.
