Decision details

The Assembly will receive a summary and presentation on the Council’s annual Children’s Care and Support Self-Evaluation, highlighting the key messages and outcomes.

The Cabinet Member for Social Care and Health Integration presented a report on the Children’s Social Care Annual Self Evaluation 2021.

The Cabinet Member advised that the self-evaluation outlined the quality and impact of social work practice and built upon previous self-evaluations. The document was a key part of the Councils commitment to continuous improvement of children services and vulnerable children’s outcome and experiences. It drew upon existing documentation, activity data and performance for 2019/20 compared to the rest of London and nationally.  Where available, it also considered in-year local data and performance.

The Assembly resolved to note the summary report and the full version of the 2021 annual self-evaluation of children’s social care at Appendix A to the report.
