OFSTED Children's Social Care Inspection Feedback

Decision Maker: Health & Wellbeing Board and ICB Sub-Committee (Committees in Common)

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

In February 2014 a report was brought to the Health and Wellbeing Board which summarised the new Ofsted single inspection framework for children’s social care and Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs), covering children in need of help and protection, looked after children and care leavers.  Barking and Dagenham were inspected by Ofsted using the new framework in May 2014. 

 

This Board will be presented with a report which gives the headline results of the inspection prior to a detailed report coming to the Board in Autumn 2014.

Decision:

The Board noted:

 

(i)  The publication of the full OFSTED report.

(ii)  To address gaps in provision, agencies would need to respond proactively to the action planning process.

(iii)  A full report will be presented at the 28 October 2014 Board to enable the Board to ensure that the proposed Action Plan, to address the areas of weakness identified by the inspection, is fit for purpose.
