The Board received the findings of the recent Inspection of Local Authority Children Services (ILACS) in Halton and its recommendations. 

It was reported that OFSTED conducted a standard inspection under the ILACS framework from 2 March to 13 March 2020.  The ILACS inspection provided a Judgement across four areas and Halton was deemed to ‘require improvement to be good’ across all areas.  Appended to the report was the Judgement document which provided explanations of the findings within each of these areas and their recommendations.

Further, as required by the ILACS framework and in response to the recommendations made, an Action Plan has been drafted and submitted to OFSTED.  This was also attached to the report.

RESOLVED:  That the Board notes the findings of the inspection and contents of the Action Plan.
