"It’s a great time to join Norfolk Children’s Services to contribute and take part in a period of extensive and positive change in order to continually improve our services to children, young people and families for whom we work”.
"I am excited about the work we are doing in the new Leaving Care Service to improve the experience and life chances of our Care Leavers in Norfolk. The Ofsted judgement was very painful for those of us who have worked with Care Leavers for a few years so the new service is timely. We want to show our commitment to our young people and these sort of dedicated teams give us a great chance to do that”
"I left Norfolk a few years ago to gain experience in different areas of the country. I returned to the West area in one of the front line teams. I have loved being in the West where there is a friendly atmosphere amongst the teams where all support each other. There is a fantastic team unity where everyone listens and is there for one another"
