A little about us

We’re very honest about the inspiring improvement journey we’re on. When Northamptonshire Children’s Trust (NCT) was created in November 2020 to deliver children’s social care services on behalf of the Council, children’s services were ‘Inadequate.’ Since then, NCT has been working collaboratively with North and West Northamptonshire Councils and other key partners to improve services for children, young people and their families.
