About Sandwell Children’s Trust
Supporting children, young people and families in Sandwell
At Sandwell Children’s Trust, we work with children, young people and families across Sandwell to help keep children safe, support wellbeing and create opportunities for positive futures.
We believe every child deserves to be safe, healthy, happy and able to achieve their full potential. We work alongside families, carers, schools, health services and community organisations to provide the support children and young people need to thrive.
What we do
Our services support children and families at different stages of their lives. These include:
- Early help and family support services
- Child protection and safeguarding
- Support for children in care
- Fostering and adoption services
- Services for care leavers and young adults
- Youth justice and specialist support services
- Advice, guidance and support for families and carers
We aim to provide the right support at the right time, helping families overcome challenges and build on their strengths.
Putting children and young people first
Children and young people are at the heart of everything we do. We listen to their views, involve them in decisions and use their experiences to help shape our services.
We are committed to treating every child, young person and family with dignity, respect and compassion. We recognise and celebrate the diversity of the communities we serve and work hard to ensure everyone has equal access to support.
Our values
Everything we do is guided by our values:
- Listening, learning and caring
- Being ambitious and confident
- Encouraging innovation
- Acting with openness and transparency
These values help us provide high-quality services and continuously improve the support we offer.
Working together
Keeping children safe and helping them succeed is a shared responsibility. We work closely with local partners, including schools, health services, police, voluntary organisations and Sandwell Council, to support children, young people and families.
Together, we are committed to making Sandwell a place where every child can feel safe, be heard, achieve their goals and look forward to a bright future.
