They underpin any work with children and families in Herefordshire.\nChildren are best brought up in families, with local, placement based support when needed. Where children can’t be brought up in their birth family, timely permanent arrangements for them will be secured.\nWe will support families to find their own solutions, building on their strengths and finding solutions to whatever difficulties they are confronting to be resilient, improve family life and increase opportunities for their children. Children who need protection will receive it and, wherever possible, early help will prevent the need for statutory intervention in family life.\nWe will listen to each other, and work together and services will be shaped by all (children, young people and families, providers and commissioners). We will work in partnership and collaborate to meet the diverse needs of Herefordshire’s children and families, always focused on improving outcomes and life chances. Together we will manage risk confidently.\nChildren and families will always know where they stand with us. We won’t give up on children and families and will listen, actively encouraging two way communication and seeking feedback. We will be clear and fair about what may need to change and what support families can expect.\nOur Vision for children's social care in Herefordshire is to have a service which enables:\nChildren to live in safe and loving families and communities and protects those at risk, with safeguarding children as its core priority;\nChildren to be resilient and grow up healthy and happy in strong families and communities;\nChildren and young people to thrive, maximises their life chances and those of their families to achieve and offers plenty of opportunities to lead a fulfilling and prosperous life in Herefordshire;\nChildren and families to have outstanding opportunities to be healthy, fit and active;\nChildren and families to have trusting relationships with peers communities and professionals;\nYoung people to help others and make a contribution to their community;\nEvery child and family receives practice of a consistently good standard\nA multi-agency social care response which is centred around children and links appropriately with education and health care services;\nA service which is dynamic and flexible and can respond to the needs of children and their families in the most appropriate and effective way;\nA supportive environment which promotes  good social work practice and a resilient workforce;\nThe maximum amount of time  to be spent working directly with children and families;\nThe diverse needs of children in Herefordshire to be met in the most appropriate way.\nOUR MISSION STATEMENT\nOur mission is to Keep children and young people safe and give them a great start in life.\nWHAT ARE PRACTICE STANDARDS\nThe standards, principles and expectations contained in this manual should be viewed as part of an approach to ensure that all services are consistently delivered to a consistently high standard.  They do not stand alone, but are an integral part of achieving service strategies and policies and meeting procedural and operational requirements.\nPractice standards, policies and procedures together ensure consistency across the organisation in how we carry out our work with children and families.\nThe following definitions help show how these drivers are related and dependent on each other;\nPractice Standards: these are the rules that describe the (minimum) service or practice, that can be expected by every service user. Most of them are legally set through government guidance and legislation, or are based on evidence based research. They are mandatory.\nProcedures: These are the steps that describe the actions needed to","cbCainmRPr8C9fZ8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainmRPr8C9fZ8","docx",91678,32,"English","# Our Principles\n# Our Mission Statement\n# What Are Practice Standards\n# Section One: Core Expectations\n## Why This Is Important?","[{\"question\":\"What is the mission statement for Herefordshire children’s social care?\",\"answer\":\"To keep children and young people safe and give them a great start in life.\"},{\"question\":\"How do practice standards, procedures, and policies relate to each other?\",\"answer\":\"Practice standards are mandatory minimum rules; procedures describe the required steps (what, how, when, where, who); policies provide the strategic context and explain why the service is delivered that way.\"},{\"question\":\"Which children and young people do the standards apply to?\",\"answer\":\"They apply to children and young people in need, at risk of protection concerns, in care, children with disabilities, and young people leaving care.\"}]","Herefordshire Children’s Social Work Practice Standards - 2018 | DOCX"]
