Inspectors have praised the care being given to vulnerable children by social workers in Oldham despite disruption and pressures caused by the pandemic.
A focused visit to Oldham’s children’s services by Ofsted examined the arrangements for children in need, including those who are subject to a child protection plan.
An inspection team made up of Lorna Schlechte and Rebecca Quested said that social work in the borough is ‘often purposeful and makes a difference to vulnerable children’s lives’.
