Our Vision
In Lambeth we put children and their families at the heart of practice, and practice at the heart of all that we do. Our new Borough Plan has social justice at the centre and a clear vision for improving outcomes for our children and families.
We are working at pace to create the conditions for effective social work to flourish hand for all our children to receive a good service. Following our inspection in 2022 Ofsted recognised the momentum and investment in Children’s Services. To support a skilled social care workforce and excellent leaders we have recently launched the Lambeth Social Care Academy.
You will be joining a well-regarded, passionate, and committed Academy Team.
