Project
Action for Change
Purpose
To prevent more children being taken into care
Funding
Staffing costs of £106,750 in 2015/16, funded by tri-borough children’s services covering Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham and Westminster
Background
One quarter of children involved in care proceedings in England are born to a parent who has been through the process before, according to data from the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service. In an effort to tackle this, Kensington and Chelsea Council’s family and children’s services launched a programme to help parents make the changes needed to prevent subsequent children being taken into care. The service, based within Kensington and Chelsea’s Early Help for Families service, began working across the three boroughs in February 2014.
