Purpose of Practice Spotlight
Launched in November 2024 Practice Spotlight is a sector-led improvement programme that shines a light on practice across London Children’s Services.
In 2025 the theme was ;”innovative and impactive practice’, whilst in 2026, with reforms underway across children’s services the theme has been ‘new and emerging’ practice. We are grateful to have received over 150 examples of practice over the two seasons of the initiative.
Practice Spotlight’s core purpose is to:
- To identify the practice that is making a difference, often around very complex and challenging areas of work.
- To boost opportunities for sharing and learning across all of London’s LAs, which underpins the positive culture of collaboration.
- To recognise and celebrate the individuals and teams who have done this work and raise awareness of the amazing work in London with broader audiences
