Our Vision

All children and families in Suffolk have the right to be safe, to have the best education, physical and emotional health, and successful preparation for adulthood and employment.

Our Mission

Suffolk County Council’s mission is to make a positive difference for Suffolk. We are committed to working together, striving to improve, and securing the best possible services.

Apprentices. Newly qualified. Experienced Leaders. Whatever route you’re exploring, at Suffolk we offer roles at every level to suit a variety of experience and career aspirations. Only an hour outside London, Suffolk offers market towns, rural and coastal villages and lively urban living. Suffolk offers a lifestyle that offers choice and a great place to live, low-cost housing, good schools, plenty of opportunities for both cultural and outdoor activities and strong, safe communities.

Our Children and Young People’s Services work in multi-agency teams to bring combined Social Care and early Help Services to create a more integrated, localised experience for families – allowing you to establish and build sustained relationships and bring about long-term, impactful change.

From Children in Care to Stronger Families, MASH, Family Solutions Teams and more, we all work to the Signs of Safety Practice Framework. Our Children’s Social Work practice is driving transformation across the services we deliver to our communities. We’re proud that our colleagues have been recognized with national ‘Social Worker of the Year’ awards for the past two years, and our overall 2019 “Outstanding” from OFSTED reflects the commitment and impact our service has at every level, achieving the best possible outcomes for children.
