The director of Sefton Council’s troubled children’s services department has resigned just over a year after he was appointed to the role.
Martin Birch was appointed in January 2022 following an ‘inadequate’ Ofsted inspection of the service and the resignation of the previous director.
Mr Birch has headed up the council’s efforts for the past year to turn the service around after Sefton Council was slated for putting the borough’s most vulnerable children at risk following a series of failings.
