Details
This independent report, by the Commissioner for Children’s Services in Buckinghamshire, recommended in June 2018 that the Council retain operational control of its children’s services, co-operating with the Department for Education (DfE)’s appointed advisers, Hampshire County Council.
It follows a report by Ofsted in January 2018 that judged the overall effectiveness of the council’s children’s social care services to be inadequate.
DfE issued a statutory direction to Buckinghamshire county council on 12 July 2018.
