Further improvement being made to Children?s Services

children

I was pleased to see that our Children?s Services department is continuing to make good progress against an improvement plan.

The council was visited by Ofsted early in 2022 and presented with a report later that year grading the overall service as ?Inadequate?. However, we?ve shown solid improvement at each of the subsequent follow-up inspections ? including the most recent report where inspectors noted:


* Senior leaders have built on the progress of previous inspections amid challenging conditions for the council as a whole. They have invited external scrutiny and worked with staff and care leavers to refocus Children?s Services
* Step changes and service modifications are helping young people and their families as they move out of care ? with especially strong support for vulnerable and disabled individuals
* Personal advisers working with young people build strong, positive relationships to maximise help and support
* Quality assurance and auditing processes have been strengthened

The department is working extremely hard to turn things around in the face of an unprecedented demand, which is currently affecting Children?s Services teams right across the country. I?d like to commend this effort and, while there is clearly more work to be done, I?m heartened that it has been consistently acknowledged by Ofsted in recent months.
