A former children’s services lead at Liverpool Council has called for the resignation of a cabinet member and government commissioners following a devastating Ofsted report.
The watchdog heavily criticised the service provided by the local authority as “inadequate” and cited “serious weaknesses” for children who need help or protection, leaving children “being harmed or at risk of harm.”
Following an inspection earlier this year, the city’s children's services department was rated as inadequate in four out of five of the key areas - including the overall rating.
