Children and young people leaving care in Knowsley are being let down by services which have continued to deteriorate over recent years.
In 2014, Knowsley's children's services were rated inadequate by Ofsted, with a 2017 report having slightly upgraded those services to 'requires improvement'
Two further monitoring visits by the watchdog in 2018 and 2020 judged that insufficient progress had been made, with the latest inspection in October 2021 stating that the borough's children's services still require improvement.
