Not just for the children and their families with whom we have the privilege of working with, but for our workforce as well.
Achieving this culture is no easy fix, nor is it a quick journey. It takes time, energy and sustained action to nurture an environment that is psychologically safe and where everyone feels a sense of belonging, purpose and value.
Across children’s services we work hard to ensure that we show care in all that we do; carefully considering how we write records for our children, undertake assessments and craft reports about their lives. In Leicestershire, we have an embedded strategy of writing all records, assessments, plans and reports to the child, so that not only are children placed at the heart of practice, it ensures we consider their lived experience and hear their voice. This approach further strengthens an understanding for children of how and why decisions were made and celebrates their achievements.
