Early signs of improvement for Trafford’s ‘inadequate’ children ’s services have been limited by ‘weak management oversight’, inspectors have said.
In their latest visit to the borough, Ofsted officers found things are improving, but the service ‘remains overly focused on processes rather than children’s experiences’ and ‘the quality of practice is not improving quickly enough.’
Trafford’s children’s services were placed into special measures by the government back in 2019 after a damning report found children were being left in unsafe circumstances for too long.
