Details
This revised direction requires that the council continues to co-operate with an independent commissioner appointed by the Secretary of State.
It follows an Ofsted report published on 5 January 2016 that judged the overall effectiveness of those services to be inadequate.
An independent report by the Commissioner for Children’s Services in Torbay recommended in April 2017 that the council should enter into a contractual arrangement with Plymouth city council to deliver its services.
This direction has closed. A direction issued by DfE on 23 March 2018 replaces it.
