The letter from Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families Janet Daby MP revokes the statutory direction issued to Middlesbrough Council on 3 March 2022.
This direction formally ends the commissioner’s work and requires the council to continue to take steps to improve its children’s social care services. This includes co-operating with a DfE-appointed children’s services adviser and a sector-led improvement partner.
This revised direction replaces the earlier statutory direction issued to Middlesbrough Council in June 2020.
