Details
This revised direction required the council to continue to take steps to improve its children’s social care services, including co-operating with the Department for Education (DFE)’s appointed advisers, Hampshire County Council.
It followed an independent report by the Commissioner for Children’s Services in Buckinghamshire, which recommended in June 2018 that the council retain operational control of its children’s services.
DfE appointed the commissioner following a report by Ofsted in January 2018 that judged the overall effectiveness of Buckinghamshire’s services to be inadequate.
This direction replaced the earlier statutory direction issued to the council in March 2018.
This direction was revoked on the 11 February 2022 following reinspection by Ofsted and is no longer in force.
