A senior officer says he is “confident” of culture change at Sefton’s troubled children’s services after a government appointed commissioner gave his verdict.
Commissioner Paul Moffat held back from recommending the troubled service be taken over by another council or held in trust.
He has been carrying out a review since being appointed in June after Sefton Council received the worst possible rating of ‘inadequate’ for its children’s services following an “bleak” Ofsted inspection earlier this year.
