Children’s North Specialist Services
Children’s North Team comprises five teams of social worker’s and support workers. We assist parents to care for their children as successfully as possible. We work with families who are the subject of Child Protection Plans or those involved in Civil Court proceedings. The teams also work with Looked After Children and children who are in need of a permanent substitute family.
