About the Children in Care team:

The Trust's Children in Care services are spread across three areas in Birmingham, North West Central, South and East. Each of the areas has an allocation of up to 550 children.

The team works closely with a range of partners including the Health Service, Schools Service and our own Independent Reviewing Service to ensure the voices of children and young people are always central to our practice. The team also works closely with the courts where children are subject to care proceedings. This involves working closely with cafcass, legal services and other partner agencies.
