Eight years on from a damning Ofsted report the quality of Knowsley’s children’s service remains “variable” but much improved according to a watchdog.
In 2014 the service was hit with a dire Ofsted report that identified “significant failings” and “poor practice” which left children “at risk” across a number of areas.
Since then, the service, run by Knowsley Council, has been on something of a journey. An inspection carried out in March 2017 found there were several ‘good’ aspects of Knowsley’s children’s services, but with some key areas still requiring improvement.
