Advice and support for children in care

North Yorkshire County Council's Opens in a new window Children's Social Care is committed to providing good quality services to support children, young people and their families and their aim is always to put children and young people at the centre of all our work.

The services provided by children's social care follow from specific Government legislation, including the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004, and the Department for Children, Schools and Families "Every Child Matters: Change for Children" agenda.

  • Assessment and safeguarding service
  • Looked after children service
  • The disabled children's service
  • The child placement service
  • The strategy and performance service
