Walsall Council in conjunction with partner agencies has launched its successful Family Safeguarding model. This strength-based approach supports parents to make positive changes to family life after they have been referred to children’s services and aims to keep families together.

As part of Care Leavers’ Week Walsall Council’s Children’s Services is celebrating some of the achievements of young people in the council’s care and the work that is being undertaken by the Transition and Leaving Care service. National Care Leavers’ Week is a time to showcase and celebrate the successes of care leavers and to inspire them to achieve their full potential.

The letter, counter-signed by Councillor Chris Towe, Portfolio Holder for Education and Skills and Sally Rowe, Director of Children’s Services was sent to schools on 20 May. It explains how Walsall Council has been looking at how the phased re-opening of schools will be achieved and is working with maintained schools and academies to agree a common approach. Schools have been asked to share the letter with parents and carers.
