Introduction

Delivering cost effective, sustainable change to improve children’s futures

Chief executives and directors of children’s services are facing the huge challenge of delivering improved outcomes for children, young people and their families whilst balancing three core objectives: ensuring the safety and well being of children, maintaining quality of services and meeting the efficiency demands of unprecedented budget pressures.  

At iMPOWER we aim to recognise and respect the good work already underway in children’s services across the country. Our approach is to build on – not replace – the good work you are undertaking and help you to provide local solutions to national challenges affecting children’s services. It is this supportive, sustainable and co-operative delivery approach that makes the experience of working with us different. 

iMPOWER’s deep understanding and knowledge of children’s services coupled with our experienced team, which includes qualified social workers, places us in an ideal position to work with our clients to help transform.

Our approach is underpinned by the belief that you understand how your service works and where your key areas for sustainable improvement are. Using our diagnostic methodology, we are able to understand the underlying causes of your services strengths and areas for improvement from a financial, strategic, tactical and operational perspective, as well as the perception of your customers. We will provide an analysis based on evidence, not anecdote. We will then work with you to focus on, and change, the areas that will have the biggest impact for customers and the council.
