Our commitment to social value
We’re committed to making a positive impact by supporting our community and prioritising the development of our people.
Everything we do has an impact
Community is at the heart of everything we do. As a legal firm specialising in Child Protection and Adult Social Care work, we are dedicated to securing the right outcomes for the most vulnerable in our society.
Our place within the Commercial Services Group (CSG) portfolio allows us to extend this commitment even further. CSG is, by its very nature, a social values organisation. Being wholly owned by Kent County Council means that all our profits are reinvested into the public sector to enhance front-line services and support those in need in Kent. CSG’s joint venture and partnership models allow us to participate in the generation of further dividends to other communities across the UK, including Hampshire, Luton, Surrey and Dudley.
A culture that supports growth
At Invicta Law, we believe people are our most important resource. We promote a culture that supports personal and professional growth and encourages employees to fulfil their career goals. We encourage ongoing development of knowledge, skills and experience whilst working with us, through apprenticeships, leadership programmes and mentorship.
By championing fair access to the legal profession and developing our own lawyers through initiatives like CILEX training, we ensure that our team is well-equipped to meet the challenges of public sector law.
Inspiring the next generation
We actively participate in school, college and university career events, where we talk to students about legal careers and explore pathways into the legal profession.
Our collaboration with Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) includes offering work experience placements and hosting employability events, to support the development of future legal professionals. We also collaborate with CCCU and Kent Law Society to offer Court Skills training for social workers and law students.
Support for charities
We believe in giving back to the community by actively supporting various charities. Our Charity Committee hosts fundraisers throughout the year, including raffles, bake sales, and Christmas Jumper Day, bringing our team together in a shared mission to make a difference.
Another highlight in our charity calendar is the annual London Legal Walk, where our team joins thousands in raising funds for legal aid charities. Our staff also participate in individual charity events, such as the London Marathon, showing their personal commitment to causes close to their hearts.
Partnership with KFJB
We are proud to be actively involved with the Kent Family Justice Board (KFJB). Our Joint Head of Child Protection, Helen Osborn co-chairs the board, which brings together key local agencies, including decision-makers and front-line staff, to improve the performance of the family justice system in our region.
The KFJB includes members from the judiciary, local authorities, Cafcass, and other key stakeholders. Each member is committed to making significant changes and improving outcomes for vulnerable children and families.
Invicta Law also hosts the annual KFJB conference, bringing together stakeholders to focus on better outcomes for children and families in Kent.
