The MJ Column: The best job in the sector
This year marks two decades since the role of the DCS was created via the 2004 Children Act. I’ve been a DCS since 2015 and it’s a job that I love.
This week is National Care Leavers Week, and I have been reflecting on the role of local authorities as corporate parents in supporting and empowering the young people in our care. We are tasked with providing a safety net that extends beyond the age of 18, ensuring these young people have access to the right services, guidance, and opportunities.
