Description

Our highest priority for improvement and transformation is Children's Services. In 2016 Children's Social Care was rated inadequate by Ofsted. Since then we have been delivering our Improvement Plan to ensure performance is turned round. There is considerable on going scrutiny of our improvement activities through an independently chaired Improvement Board and regular inspection visits from Ofsted.
The Director for Children's Services has defined an approach that will deliver a programme of transformational change for children and young people in Wirral by creating the conditions for change. A narrative setting out this approach and timetable are included as Appendix 1 and 2. This will result in:
• The delivery of the 2020 pledges for children and young people
• Consistently good and innovative child centred practice
• Service integration with schools, health and the Police
• The joint commissioning of sustainable and high performing services for all children and young people.
