Liverpool City Council's child services department has been slammed as 'inadequate' in a damning inspection report.
An inspection of the crucial council department took place in March, covering all aspects of children's social care and early help and found the service to be failing. The inspection cited 'serious weaknesses' for children who need help or protection, 'which leave children being harmed or at risk of harm.'
In total four out of five areas of the service were branded 'inadequate' in a damning assessment of the council-run service.
