Minutes:
The report from the Director of Children and Families provided an update on the outcome of the Ofsted inspection of Brent’s arrangements for the protection of children which took place between 22-31 October 2012. The detail was contained within the attached full inspection report and the associated Action Plan. Councillor Arnold reminded the Executive that the service had been judged to be adequate. It had been found that progress had been made since the last inspection but there had been insufficient time for the changes to have embedded and the impact to be evidenced. There were however a significant number of areas where improvements were required and immediate and medium term actions were set out in the report reflected in the department’s action plan.
Councillor Butt (Chair, Leader of the Council) stressed that the council would strive towards continuous improvement and work collaboratively to deliver services for children.
