Being a Director of Children’s Services is more than a job it’s a calling. You lead with purpose, shaping lives and safeguarding futures. As Yvette Stanley said, “Great leadership in children’s social care goes hand in hand with great social work. It’s a golden thread from the top of the department to the frontline.” If you’re ready to lead with courage, compassion, and clarity, then the future of children’s services might just be yours to shape.
