Further information
Our vision in Swansea, well understood by the current workforce, is 'doing what matters to make things better for children, young people, and families.' We aim that wherever safe, children should remain in the care of their birth families. Signs of Safety is our practice framework, and our social work teams work in small pods, enabling systemic work with families to effect change. This supports good supervision and collaboration.

* A positive attitude towards risk, willingness to innovate and be creative.

* Respectful practice and genuine efforts by staff to understand circumstances and support personal outcomes.
