The Children Disability Team (CDT) transferred to Children Services over from Dudley Disability service (DDS)
This is an exciting move as it ensures social work 0-18 services are aligned in terms of the Children’s Improvement Plan as this Plan intends to bring together a range of activities across children’s services that will support transformational change. To maximise the potential improvements for children’s disability from these changes, it is acknowledged that moving the children social work team back to Childrens services will enable the team to take full advantage of these improvements.
Short breaks is a legislative requirement under the Children and Young Persons Act 2008, section 25 to support children and young people to have a break and their carers to have a break from their caring responsibilities. The Short breaks activity and worker will also move back to children’s services as part of the CDT transfer.
