Children and Young People Scrutiny Commission

Children and Young People Scrutiny Commission - Monday 14 October 2024 7.00 pm

The Children and Young People's Scrutiny Commission received an update on the Council's action plan following a recent Ofsted inspection of Children’s Social Care in July 2024, where the service was judged to be ‘good’. This was followed by a question and answer session with Mayor Philip Glanville, the Cabinet lead for a number of children and young people's services, on three key policy areas; (1) the commissioning of independent and non-maintained special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision, (2) the roll out of the free childcare entitlement in Hackney, and (3) the graduated SEND response in schools. The Commission also considered an update on the implementation of the Housing Support for Care Leavers Review.
