About Children and Young People’s Services

In H&F we strive to be a place where every child has the best possible start in life, grows up feeling cherished, loved and realises their full potential as young citizens.

We are committed to providing the right support at the right time to enable our families and communities to be safe and healthy and for our children to thrive.

Our Systemic Practice model is well established, placing emphasis on relationships as key to supporting change for families. We nurture relationships that are respectful, collaborative and empowering with our families, supported by our highly skilled Clinical team, networks and partner agencies, focusing on the whole family system rather than individuals.

Hammersmith and Fulham is a thriving borough that is always striving to develop and improve. Children’s Social Care was judged ‘Good’ in our last Ofsted inspection and the Youth Justice Service has received an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ following an inspection by HM Inspectorate of Probation in July 2022.

It’s an exciting time to join us with opportunities to work in a range of teams with different specialism.

Systemic Practice

Hammersmith and Fulham Children’s Services adopted a Systemic Practice model in 2014. Our practice model is all about working with families, communities and other professionals in fair, compassionate and transparent ways; thinking about and adapting our practice to address racism, oppression and all misuses of power.
