Children’s services at the authority were rated ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted inspectors
Children’s services at the Labour-run authority were rated ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted inspectors in September and a formal ‘improvement notice’ was issued by the Government a month later.
Newton Europe, a specialist in operational improvement based in Oxfordshire, has been signed up to help deliver an improvement programme in its children’s services. “The inspection feedback was clear that the scale of required improvements remains substantial, and the pace of change needs to quicken for all areas of the service to provide safe and consistently good services for children.
As such the council will be employing one ‘service manager’, two ‘missing from home advocates’, one ‘missing from home and exploitation lead manager’, one ‘inspection and improvement manager’, four full-time ‘personal advisors’ and one who will work part-time. The total value of the job roles is £634,723, covering a period of 18 months between 2022/23 and 2023/24.
