Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services which provided an update on the progress made on the Service Improvement Plan. This plan had been in place since March 2012 and contained actions from previous inspections, reviews and audits within Children’s Social Care. In September 2014 there were 133 actions on the Service Improvement Plan; the review in November 2014 concluded that this has now been significantly reduced to 32 actions, with 7 completed, reducing the number outstanding to 25.

Officers reported that there had been an inspection of the Tower Hamlets Youth Offending Service, which the City of London commissioned. Members noted that there had not been any children or young people from the City requiring youth offending services for the past three years, and as such the review had not looked at any cases from the City.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
