At the heart of everything we do are the children and families of Bristol
We help children and families achieve the change they want to see for themselves. We believe children should live with their family or someone who knows them well, but we will take action when children need to be protected from harm.
Our social workers strive to make sure that children in our care and care leavers are set up for life.
