We are rated Good in all areas, following significant improvements, and the report recognised that we have transformed our children's services. Read Ofsted's Inspection of Norfolk Children's Services November 2022 report Key highlights from the latest report: Personal advisers and social workers have caseloads which 'enable them to build enduring and effective relationships with their young people and support them into adulthood'. Working in Norfolk you will be empowered to be tenacious and creative in using a range of tools and theoretical frameworks to help children through significant and traumatic experiences. Relationship-based partnership working is one of our strengths in Norfolk with an innovative system-wide approach to the delivery of services and a diverse range of multi-agency support services focused on building resilience and ensuring that needs are met quickly and at the lowest level. Our executive director of children's services (DCS) Sara Tough is an exemplary leader who champions the needs of children and young people with a strong senior management team who together provide continuity of management and strategic direction. In Norfolk we've invested millions to completely change our operating model and create the professional and emotional support around you that you need to do the job you trained for, to get the best outcomes for children and families, and to achieve a work-life balance that suits you.

We have already seen reduced contacts, referrals, and a big reduction in the number of assessments which do not lead to ongoing work. "The breadth and depth of circumstances you experience being a fast social worker means there is scope to either develop a specialism and pursue something you are interested in, or alternatively have a varied caseload. The FAST model means that you are able to work with children from the point of referral onward meaning you have the opportunity to work long term with families and form strong and consistent relationships with the children you work with. There is a good variety of work between assessment, long-term work and court work and as such you have the opportunity to develop your skills in a range of areas."
