Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council’s children’s services received a good rating from Ofsted in January 2025.
The journey from inadequate to good was underpinned by the development of a bespoke and hybrid practice framework. Focusing on restorative and trauma-informed practice, practitioners and managers have worked together to implement this model.
Principal social worker Leanne Morgan and team leader Stephanie Hutson share how they helped shape the practice model that is framing how social workers support children and families.
Leanne said: “I’d come to BCP Children’s [services] knowing that the pace of improvement was significant, the direction and trajectory of improvement was positive. So I was determined that I wanted to get in and understand where practitioners were at, and I used my new role as PSW to do that.”
