Ofsted are to begin monitoring visits of the local authority this month after a damning inspection
Almost a dozen areas have been identified where Liverpool Council must improve as it reels from a damning Ofsted inspection of its children’s services.
A new report has identified 11 areas in which the city council aims to sharpen up as it prepares for its first monitoring visit from Ofsted officials.Assessing the impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families, the education watchdog said the council had shown “insufficient prioritisation and pace in tackling critical areas necessary to enable improvement.
The report, to go before councillors at Liverpool Town Hall next week, set out 11 areas in which the council needs to improve upon. These include caseloads and regular reflective supervision; the identification of and response to risk by social workers and partner agencies; the quality of decision making, and the timely access to emotional and mental health support and dental care for young people.
