Details

This statutory direction has been revised to reflect the fact that DfE intervention and oversight arrangements for North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire Unitary Authorities have changed. The changes follow the end of the commissioner’s tenure and the appointment of a new Independent Chair of the Children’s Services Improvement Board who will advise Ministers on progress. This was a recommendation in the letter from the Commissioner to Minister Quince in November 2021.

This direction replaces the direction issued to North and West Northamptonshire Unitary Authorities on 1 April 2021.
