That’s Children’s and Families Social Care in Somerset right now. We’re putting our most vulnerable children at the heart of our priorities and continuing to improve further the support we give them. Their safety is, and always will be, our number one priority.
We’re on a journey. Our improved Ofsted rating is a testament to the hard work and commitment of all of our colleagues. Inspectors have recognised the continuous improvement and praised, among other things, appropriate caseloads for newly qualified social workers. They also mentioned that our social workers feel well supported and receive supervision they value.
Of course, we’re not stopping. We’ll never stop. That’s why we’re looking for social workers who share our passion for improving outcomes for children and their families.
We’ve recently published our Somerset Children and Young People’s Plan 2024 to 2027. It’s the vision of all services working with vulnerable children and families: working in partnership to improve not just single lives but the communities that support these individuals. You can also read our Children and Young People’s Plan.

Across early years, wraparound and holiday childcare, childminding, and new provision, this work contributes to Best Start in Life, helping children and families in Somerset to thrive from birth through school and beyond.
