This is a national test and learn initiative following the publication of the government response (Stable Homes, Built on Love) to the independent review of children's social care by Josh McAllister. All local authorities are expected to implement the recommendations by 2027 and by becoming a pathfinder, Warwickshire County Council are going to be at the forefront of these once in a lifetime reforms. The Pathfinder Programme vision is to rebalance children's social care away from costly crisis intervention to more meaningful and effective early support.
