A Sefton councillor said it would be a “waste of time” to discuss failures at the council which led to a damning Ofsted report into its children’s services.
Cllr Paula Spencer made the remarks as members of Sefton Council ’s overview and scrutiny committee discussed the aftermath of the inspection report. The report, which was released earlier this year, led to government commissioners being appointed in a bid to turn the children’s services around.
At the meeting, director of education and children’s services Martin Birch spoke of aims to submit an improvement plan to Ofsted in August, before being brought to councillors at the committee in September.
