Just to put this in perspective the Inspector's report acknowledges that on all the performance factors Social Services has improved over the last two years. Their concern is that it is not improving fast enough.
The Management of Children's services has changed since the original report and there is a new Director in place. The other concern in the report is that across all parties there has not been the joint working needed to push forward improvements.
They imply that Councillors have been too concerned with scoring political points rather then putting the interests of children first. I think that is a valid criticism and I hope that as a result all parties will now come together on a joint working group to deal with this issue.
