If you find you or a colleague has joined in the last 6 weeks and have had no contact with our team or you have a colleague starting soon - Please do contact us and we will set up your induction. You can request an induction any time via info@wmchildrensservices.org.uk.
In addition to the above support to individuals to the networks we also act as general point of contact for other areas of regional working, for example, we have linked in with leads from Probation and the violence reduction unit or other regional programmes that do not sit under the ADCS specifically. If you have ideas, or connections that you think would be beneficial to the region then please do get in touch so we can facilitate introductions with the appropriate leads.
