We are Wirral

We Are Wirral Children’s Services is a campaign aiming to create and follow a list of shared goals to make the work Wirral Children’s Services better and help families and the Council get along well by working together.

In January 2025, we held the first "We Are Wirral Children’s Event." It included Council leaders, workers from Children’s Services, parents, and young people. Together, we made a list of what we expect from the people who work with children.

  • Our aims as Wirral Children’s Services are:

    • We create opportunities for all children and young people

    • We do the right thing for children and families

    • Children who come into care are better off because of it

We want to hear from you!

We want to continue the discussion. You can use the form below to tell us your thoughts and help us to continue to make Wirral and amazing place to grow up.

You Said, We Did!

‘You said you wanted clear language around death.’

We understand that language related to death can be confusing and varies across different services. Terms like bereavement, grief, and loss are appropriate in the right contexts; however, when discussing death specifically, we want to be clear and direct. Therefore, our previously titled "Bereavement" page has been renamed "Death," and all future resources and content related to this topic will use this term consistently.
