Recently, Warwickshire County Council has been successfully chosen as a Wave 2 participant in the Families First for Children Pathfinder. Warwickshire is one of seven new areas to deliver the programme, which aims to improve services to help more children stay with their families in safe and loving homes and protect vulnerable children from harm where needed.

The Pathfinder Programme vision is to rebalance children's social care and avoid costly crisis intervention by offering more meaningful and effective early support. All local authorities are expected to implement the recommendations, with national roll out expected in 2025-2027. By becoming a pathfinder, Warwickshire's Children and Families Service is going to be at the forefront of these once in a lifetime reforms.
