Head of Children's Social Care Reforms and Transformation
Kensington and Chelsea Council is reviewing reforms for children's social care, aiming to meet Department for Education expectations by April 2027.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's Family Services Select Committee reviewed significant reforms for children's social care in March 2026. These changes are part of the Bi-borough Social Care Transformation programme, which aims to meet Department for Education expectations for a revised service model by April 2027, a story from March 2026 reported.
The transformation programme is being undertaken amidst significantly reduced funding and has a savings target of £2,555,000 for 2026/27. The reforms are designed to align with the Department for Education's Families First programme, which mandates an end-to-end service provision, according to the March 2026 report.
