Liverpool Council has confirmed its new director of children’s services after a scathing report into historic failures within the department.
Jenny Turnross has been named as the local authority’s new corporate director and will taken up her post in August. Ms Turnross joins the city from Birmingham Children’s Trust where she currently holds the role of director of practice.
Last month, a damning Ofsted report slammed the service provided by Liverpool Council as “inadequate” and cited “serious weaknesses” for children who need help or protection, leaving children “being harmed or at risk of harm.”
