Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services relative to the Quality Assurance (QA) Framework designed to support the continued journey of improvement for children and young people’s services in the City of London.

Members asked what evidence, if any, was emerging about whether the improvements intended by this new QA Framework are being achieved. Specifically, what had been the impact of this new approach on staff and the quality of services provided to children and families?

The Director reported that as the framework was newly introduced and some aspects had changed, the framework was still in an adjustment period. A follow-up report would be presented to the Sub-Committee in the autumn following an audit to assess the impact.

RESOLVED – that, the report be received and its contents noted.
