Parents took to the steps of Bootle Town Hall tonight to protest about the state of Sefton’s children’s services.
Dozens of parents lined up outside the town hall, ahead of a meeting of the borough’s children’s overview and scrutiny committee, holding placards and giving speeches about their experiences dealing with the council’s troubled department as part of a protest organised by campaign group Voice of a Child.
Sefton Council’s children’s services received the worst possible Ofsted rating last year after previous dire reports leading to the installation of government-appointed commissioners to oversee the council’s efforts to turn the situation around.
