Hear about how Legal Services is an invaluable resource for other council services.
Colleagues from Children’s and Adult services, Planning and Legal Services reflect on how legal staff have a profound impact on different areas of the council.
I’ve seen firsthand how our legal team contributes to my planning teams, their expertise and support is invaluable. Their understanding of our policies and regulations makes dealing with complex issues so much easier for us. They break down complicated information into our terms, which allows us to make informed decisions. From a career perspective, joining the Halton legal team would be a fantastic opportunity, and a way to do something meaningful for the borough of Halton.
My colleagues in Legal Services are vital in helping us to protect vulnerable children in Halton. Their timely guidance and support really does guide our approach to safeguarding, care proceedings and so much more. Their advice is readily available and it’s an added layer of protection for the children and families we serve as well as my social care teams. I’m looking forward to working with successful candidates, good luck with your application!
The work we do as a legal team significantly enhances our ability to deliver on regeneration projects. When the council is planning new developments or improvement initiatives, we step in to ensure our teams are compliant in all aspects. Our approach minimises risk and helps anticipate challenges before they arise – so our regeneration team can focus on sustaining our communities.
Legal Services really are instrumental for all of us here in Adult Services, they help us to address our complex cases, intervene when necessary and ensure that our social work practice is lawful and ethical. When issues do arise, they are ready to help us understand the implications of our choices and the best way forward. Our working relationship thrives because we are able to work together – I would encourage legal professionals to consider applying if they want a role where they can develop and broaden their expertise in different areas of work
