An inspection on Torbay’s children’s services has found signs of improvement
An inspection update on Torbay’s children’s services – rated ‘inadequate’ since 2016 – has found signs of improvement.
Two inspectors from Ofsted carried out a visit earlier this month
The report found a series of improvements and said the council was building the foundations for “sustained change”
However there are still concerns about large caseloads, high numbers of agency staff and “highly variable quality of practice”.
The council’s leadership welcomed the report and said it showed the department was “moving in the right direction”.
