Jenny Coles, who has also served as president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS), announced she will retire from the local authority at the end of August 2021.
Qualifying as a social worker in Luton in 1986, Coles has worked to improve children’s services in Hertfordshire for more than a decade in her post as director, most notably receiving national recognition for the council’s Family Safeguarding model from the Department for Education in 2017.
