We recognise the most important influence in a child’s life is family. Children who grow up with safe, stable and nurturing relationships form stronger friendships, develop greater resilience, achieve more in school and are more likely to build positive relationships throughout their lives.
We are child focussed in our intent but recognise that the most effective way to help and protect children is to work alongside the whole family. Therefore strengthening families is central to our aims as we know that families have greater capacity for change when we work with them as partners. This is part of an evidence based approach known as Restorative Practice.
We aim to embed a culture across our workforce where dignity and respect is the basis for our interventions. Every member of staff will understand the principles of Restorative Practice and its ethos will underpin all of our work and align to the borough vision of ‘Forging a Future for all’.

About Us
At Dudley Children’s Services, we aim to provide the best service we possibly can to make a real difference to the lives of our more vulnerable children and young people. This is our ethos – children first and at the heart of all we do
​
We also recognise our responsibility as a service to ensure practitioners have all the learning and development opportunities they need to build upon their skills, and deliver the most effective practice. And this is what Dudley’s Centre for Professional Practice is all about – creating good quality learning and development opportunities in a supportive environment, and striving to improve practice.
