The Council engages with residents through a number of forums and events through the year, and like Sutton plays a leading role in developing the South West Region of London. Sutton is a well connected attractive part of London that has a reputation for excellent schools, green and leafy open spaces, and a history that drives a thriving heritage and culture offer through our museums and libraries. The Council is controlled by a long established Liberal Democrat Administration and has high ambitions set out in its corporate plan \"Ambitious for Sutton\", that will ensure Sutton remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.

The Mental Health and Family Systems Specialist will offer time-limited therapeutic interventions to improve the mental health, emotional wellbeing and educational outcomes of children and young people. There will be opportunities for family interventions to address any family issues that may be contributing to, or being influenced by, the presenting challenges.

We work together to offer therapeutic support to children and young people open to Children's Services who have emerging or complex mental health or behavioural needs. This includes young people who are accommodated in residential or foster care. The range of work with children and families is varied, dynamic and constantly developing in response to changes in the fields of developmental trauma, attachment and neurodevelopment. The Therapeutic Hub supports the embedding of Sutton's practice models by promoting a restorative and trauma informed approach in our work, not only with children and families but also the systems surrounding them.

Sutton is a well connected, attractive borough in South West London that has a reputation for excellent schools, Green Flag award-winning green and leafy open spaces, and an industrial heritage along the River Wandle. Our Local Plan concentrates new housing in our town and district centres, and seeks to preserve the heritage assets and village feel of parts of the borough. The Council is leading regeneration in Sutton town centre, including a new Civic Hub, new site for Sutton College and new council housing. Sutton's priority is high quality, well-designed development that meets the highest sustainability credentials and secures affordable housing. Infrastructure provision is of high priority to our residents. Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport.

Getting to know the borough is an important part of the role. About Us Our planning service performs strongly against government targets for application decision-making, regularly deciding 90% of all reported applications within statutory targets, an appeal success rate which is 84% dismissed and is the fourth-best performing Council in the country in not using Extensions of Time (14% of all reported applications). We have a fully staffed and qualified building control team. Our Local Plan is being updated and will help position Sutton as a key player in attracting inward investment, jobs for our residents and STEM opportunities for our young people in the longer term. We want to be a major player in the Mayor of London's and Government's growth agenda. Planning will be key in shaping the Council's arguments for more investment in Sutton, especially in public transport improvements. We know our residents care about infrastructure alongside development, and our use of s106 and Community Infrastructure Levy from major developments will help ensure they feel and see the benefits too. Our new Local Plan will continue to concentrate new housing in our town and district centres and by diversifying planning uses we will boost footfall and vitality, alongside protecting the distinctive character and heritage of the borough. Within Sutton town centre, works will start this year on around 1,000 new homes on the former B&Q site in Sutton town centre, including 217 social rent council properties. Further consented developments are in the pipeline in Throwley Way and Lodge Place, as well as future proposals for the reuse of Quadrant House and St Nicholas House, along with a scheme to relocate Sutton College to a council-owned site in the High Street to create a 'Northern Gateway' and ensure regeneration of this end of the high street.
