The teams are co located alongside the other Children's services teams at the Civic Centre Bournemouth, but work flexibly across the BCP area. Families are presented at Legal Gateway panel by the Assessment service or Children & Families First teams to consider if the threshold for pre-proceedings is met and to devise a plan of support to the family. If threshold is met, the family are invited to a formal meeting (PLO meeting) with their legal representation to hear the concerns and collaborate on an action plan to reduce risks to the child/ren , at which point the PLO and Court Team will start working with the family. The team works with families to address the needs and risks of children and families jointly , supporting children and families with issues such as domestic abuse, adult mental health and substance misuse along with the use of the Parental Substance Misuse Court (PSMC). Issuing care proceedings in the family courts should be seen as the option of last resort and the purpose of the PLO (Public Law Outline) pre-care proceedings process represents a genuine opportunity to work closely with families by offering help and support to address their recognises needs in a bid to negate the need to issue care proceedings. The focus of the best practice guidance is ensuring that the PLO is followed in all cases with a view to either divert cases that might otherwise have come to court or having these cases that do come to court fully assessed and prepared. There is significant emphasis in securing a child's permanency and exploration of the support the wider family can offer in reducing risk and increasing safety. We work together to ensure the right decisions are made for children without drift and delay. For those children that require permanency outside of the home, there is joint working and handovers to the children in care team, or to Aspire adoption team. Are you also passionate about making a real difference in children's lives? Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is looking for dedicated, compassionate and experienced Social Workers to join our team at Levels 2 & 3. We are proud to have achieved a GOOD rating from Ofsted in Dec 2024, recognising our commitment to providing excellent care and support for children and families. At BCP, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to continuing building a diverse and inclusive workforce. Your unique experiences and perspectives will help us continue delivering outstanding care to children in our community. If you are an experienced Social Worker we want to hear from you.

"As for a social worker, there is career progression that is encouraged within BCP and it's a a very rewarding job and something that I absolutely love" "It's a lovely place to come and live and work. So if if you're not from the local area, come down to Dorset. It's a wonderful county and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are vibrant, busy urban areas right on the sea front" "I've never felt so supported" About our team: BCP Council Children's Services have 2 specialist PLO and Court Teams which are made up of 1 Team Manager, 1 Assistant Team Manager, 7 social workers and 1 Family Practitioner. The teams are co located alongside the other Children's services teams at the Civic Centre Bournemouth, but work flexibly across the BCP area. Families are presented at Legal Gateway panel by the Assessment service or Children & Families First teams to consider if the threshold for pre-proceedings is met and to devise a plan of support to the family. If threshold is met, the family are invited to a formal meeting (PLO meeting) with their legal representation to hear the concerns and collaborate on an action plan to reduce risks to the child/ren , at which point the PLO and Court Team will start working with the family. The team works with families to address the needs and risks of children and families jointly , supporting children and families with issues such as domestic abuse, adult mental health and substance misuse along with the use of the Parental Substance Misuse Court (PSMC). Issuing care proceedings in the family courts should be seen as the option of last resort and the purpose of the PLO (Public Law Outline) pre-care proceedings process represents a genuine opportunity to work closely with families by offering help and support to address their recognises needs in a bid to negate the need to issue care proceedings. The focus of the best practice guidance is ensuring that the PLO is followed in all cases with a view to either divert cases that might otherwise have come to court or having these cases that do come to court fully assessed and prepared. There is significant emphasis in securing a child's permanency and exploration of the support the wider family can offer in reducing risk and increasing safety. We work together to ensure the right decisions are made for children without drift and delay. For those children that require permanency outside of the home, there is joint working and handovers to the children in care team, or to Aspire adoption team. Are you also passionate about making a real difference in children's lives? Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is looking for dedicated, compassionate and experienced Social Workers to join our team at Levels 2 & 3. We are proud to have achieved a GOOD rating from Ofsted in Dec 2024, recognising our commitment to providing excellent care and support for children and families. At BCP, we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to continuing building a diverse and inclusive workforce.
