Announcing Practice Spotlight 2026: New and Emerging Practice

We are excited to announce the addition of 65 case studies from local authorities and partner organisations to Practice Spotlight, our sector-led improvement programme. It shines a light on practice across London’s children’s services that is transforming the lives of children and families.

Launched in 2024, Practice Spotlight aims to:

  • Recognise and celebrate the individuals and teams who have delivered this work, and raise awareness with broader audiences
  • Discover the practice that is making a difference, often in very complex and challenging areas of work
  • Boost opportunities for sharing and learning across all of London’s local authorities and partners, underpinning a positive culture of collaboration

This year’s submissions focus on the theme of New and Emerging Practice, across nine categories. We have also created a brand new category, ‘What Works Well in Inclusion’, which received a fantastic 35 submissions across six themes.

There are now more than 150 examples of work making a difference for children and families, all in one place. Thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute and share their incredible work.

If something catches your eye, get in touch with the team behind it. And if you’d like to explore, share or develop an area of practice with LIIA, we’d love to hear from you.
