This direction has closed. A direction issued by DfE on 5 March 2018 replaces it.

This direction confirms that an adviser will be appointed to oversee the council’s improvements.

It follows an Ofsted report, published on 8 August 2014, which found the council’s leadership, governance and children’s services to be ‘inadequate’. Adoption and care-leaver services were found to ‘require improvement’.
