Hi, I am Daniel Reeve, Team Manager for the West & Breckland Support for Success Team in Children's Services.

We have been a 'live' service since April 2021 and have established great working relationships with Team Managers in the West & Breckland patch, as well as Foster Carers, Supervising Social Workers and professionals from a wide range of disciplines.

We have ambitious plans to shape how we work with families, placing practitioners and relationship-based practice at the heart of what we do.

Through Vital Signs, our vision for Children in Norfolk, we work with whole family networks and across the whole system to support families to build on their strengths and to achieve the best possible outcomes.

We believe it is vital that children are prepared and able to learn, build positive, long term relationships and receive family-based care.

Norfolk's social care model is a relationship-based, purposeful approach with Social Workers practicing in a trauma informed way, incorporating therapeutic approaches within their work with children, young people, their carers and families.

With the relevant experience, you will also be provided with training in the tools and interventions needed to equip you with this role.

It is an exciting time to join the Corporate Parenting Service in Norfolk as we embark on transforming the way we work with children and young people to support better outcomes and to work together as a parenting network to enable young people to be successful in achieving their aspirations.

We want our people to be inspired and motivated to work well together, make the most of our workspaces, enjoy a healthy work-life balance, and deliver excellent services to Norfolk and its people.
