Children's Social Care

We need Foster Carers and Adopters!

We provide a child-centred service, ensuring children and young people in Haringey are:

• supported to achieve improved life chances.

Our target group is young people and children, namely children in need.

Priority is given to children looked after by the council and those in need of safeguarding from harm.

We work in partnership with key agencies to achieve improved delivery of cohesive services.
