Details
This improvement notice requires Sefton Council to take steps to improve 2 areas of its children’s social care services.
It follows an Ofsted focused visit report published on 10 May 2021 which judged there to be 2 areas for priority action:
- timely application of the pre-proceedings stage of the Public Law Outline where risks for children are not reducing through child protection planning
- the effectiveness of case supervision and the monitoring of children who are subject to child protection planning, including those children in the pre-proceedings process, to prevent drift and delay
A direction issued to Sefton Council on 9 May 2022 replaces this improvement notice.
