Cambridgeshire Virtual School is a team of teachers and dedicated education professionals who work to support the education and improve educational outcomes for all Cambridgeshire children who have or have had a social worker.
This includes a statutory remit for Children in Care and Children previously in Care, alongside a non-statutory remit for Children Living in Kinship Care and Children who are known to a Social Worker as either Children in Need or those under Child Protection plans.
This website aims to be a place to access information, advice and guidance, share best practice and gain a complete picture of the multi-agency work which goes on in support of our most vulnerable children.
