This direction has closed. A direction issued by DfE on 25 January 2018 replaces it.

This direction required the council to work with the Department for Education (DfE) and Frankie Sulke who was appointed Commissioner for Barnet by the Secretary of State.

It followed a report by Ofsted that judged the overall effectiveness of the council’s children’s social care services to be inadequate.
