Councillors have been left waiting for months for a decision on key information on improvements to Sefton's troubled children's services.
Last year, Sefton Council's children's services were placed in special measures after a dire Ofsted inspection which found a series of failings that left some of the borough's most vulnerable children at risk. Among measures taken in the aftermath of the report, which brought government appointed commissioners into the department, was the setting up of an improvement board, tasked with overseeing key changes.
Following a review carried out by then commissioner Paul Moffat over the summer, some concerns were raised about the structure and membership of the board, with recommendations made to reduce the number of people on the board and to make some replacements.
