Positive outcomes for children, cost saving for local authorities
Innovate Services is a practice-led service, and we are the preferred accountable choice for local authorities looking for improvement journeys.
We identify better, more efficient ways of delivering children’s social work, children’s residential, and foster carer services.
Often, this means we are brought in as a partner at the most challenging of times.
Local authorities view us as a trusted long-term social work service delivery partner, every client who has strategically enlisted our help has re-engaged due to our quality in practice.
Recently, we saved one local authority £18,000 per week while improving outcomes.

What our clients say
“Some of the cases Innovate CYPS’ social workers managed were very complex – they’ve made a hugely positive impact in those children’s lives. We’ve soaked up the knowledge and approach of Innovate CYPS’ auditors and practitioners.
“As a service, we’re also in a much better place. Our auditing process shows that service quality has been consistently improving.”
Dawn Alaszewski, Head of Children’s Services, North East Lincolnshire Council
