Our mission
To promote the education of children who have, or have had a social worker (CWSW), so that children are more effectively supported to overcome educational barriers, make good progress and fulfil their educational potential.
How do we promote the education of children with a social worker?
- Identifying and addressing barriers to education – we gather, analyse and share a range of data and findings that highlight barriers to education and actively work with partners to address them.
- Promoting partnership – we promote partnership between schools and social care and the local authority, so professionals work collaboratively to support children and families.
- Providing professionals with advice and support – we offer staff and social care practitioners a range of support, guidance and advice, including weekly education consultation sessions and training.
- Working to champion children’s education – we work to influence and shape local area policy and practice, so educational barriers are addressed and systems improved to increase the support children have to reach their potential.
