The brief

Where Ofsted finds systemic or persistent failure by a local authority to provide adequate children’s services, the Department for Education initiates steps to secure improvement, with a presumption that this will best be achieved by removing the service from council control.

An independent Children’s Services Commissioner was appointed by the Secretary of State for Education to test this presumption in Bromley, and found that changes to the leadership and management of the service were promising enough for the service to remain in the Council’s control.

Ministers have decided that, as this decision was finely balanced, the service should be kept under close review by a Commissioner who should report on progress in six months’ time.
