The letter from Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families Janet Daby MP revokes the statutory direction issued to Middlesbrough Council in March 2022.
This direction formally ends the commissioner’s work and requires the council to continue to take steps to improve its children’s social care services. This includes co-operating with a DfE-appointed children’s services adviser and a sector-led improvement partner.
This revised direction replaces the earlier statutory direction issued to Middlesbrough Council in June 2020.
