Councillors have blamed each other after watchdogs found South Gloucestershire social services are leaving some children at risk of “significant harm”.
Opposition groups took aim at the council’s Conservative administration for the “awful” failings highlighted by Ofsted in how the local authority deals with concerns from the public about youngsters’ safety.
But the ruling Tories hit back, saying all elected members should bear responsibility of being a “corporate parent”, with council leader Cllr Toby Savage accusing the Lib Dems and Labour of giving higher priority to “gender pronouns on email signatures” than to vulnerable kids.
