 Mi yw Darren Russell. I'm a practice manager in the courts team in Worthing. I've been with West Sussex for nearly four years. I was a social worker in the family support and protection team. I moved into practice management with West Sussex and really pleased to be part of the court team. We look at every permanent route in West Sussex. So we have babies whose care plan could be for adoption. But equally, we are looking for the best outcomes in long-term fostering. And also where we have children who potentially will be placed with family members under child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders. And we're looking at the potential to rehabilitate those children into their wider family network. So it's very much a role which requires a social worker and the practice manager to be focused on the lives of the children and the family, their lived experiences, understanding their identity, the community from which they have come from. And we want to try and replicate that in whatever that permanent plan may be. In the court team, we have experienced a number of changes and they're really exciting changes. We now have social workers who are dedicated towards the court work role and we have a separate children's permanence team who are looking at that longer-term picture and be able to focus the care plan and the permanent plan on the specific needs of the child and perhaps the wider family. It's a really good opportunity for social workers to hone their written skills, their curiosity and their care planning. We work on to the science of safety model. So we're always thinking about the lived experiences of the child, the harm that they've experienced and focusing the care plan and the permanence plan on how we can have the best possible fit for those children given the experiences they've had often in the early stages of their life. In my role, I really enjoy the fast-paced nature of the court team. It does present its own challenges, but what's really good is being able to work really closely with my social workers to see the fantastic direct work that they're doing with children and trying to really understand the experiences of children and their families so that we can incorporate that in the court work that we do. We use tools such as words and pictures and later on life story books so we can really focus on the lived experiences of the child, their family and the events that have shaped their childhood so that we can find the best possible fit for them.
