As director of children's services at Lincolnshire County Council, Peter Duxbury is responsible for 400 schools as well as the young people's social care department and youth work. It is all part of the move to integrated working. "One of the really good things about what we've been doing is integrating all the different services working with children and young people," he explains. "So while we still have youth workers, we no longer have a youth service."
Most of his job is out of the office in meetings with other service directors, health service managers and council executive members. He also spends time visiting schools and meeting members of the youth cabinet.
