Sefton council has been accused of a lack of transparency over an improvement board set up to steer the transformation of its failing children’s services.
After several dire Ofsted reports detailed “widespread failures” with the borough’s children services, the government appointed a commissioner, Paul Moffat.
Mr Moffat has been tasked with turning around the service, which is responsible for the care and support of some of Sefton ’s most vulnerable children.
