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

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services relative to the action for Children Annual Survey. The survey found that overall, children and families were happy with the service they received and young people and care leavers had good relationships with their social workers. Officers reported significant engagement with children and young people. There had been a change of platform for the survey. Respondents preferred to respond in person, as opposed to an online survey. Members noted that it appeared some respondents did not understand all questions, for example Q22. Do you know how to contact the Virtual Headteacher. 4 responded ‘No – I do not know who it is.’ Members understand that the Headteacher is very involved with students, and the respondents may not have known that this was his role.

The report was noted.
