A meeting has taken place today
Nottingham City Council says it will be employing eight more social workers as part of plans to improve its 'inadequate' children's services. The authority must urgently address its issues following a "disappointing" report from Ofsted.
Terry Galloway, who grew up in care himself and now seeks to campaign on behalf of children and young people in his position today, said he was "heartbroken" to hear they were being let down. He added there is "a long way to go".And during a meeting at Loxley House today , executive councillors were informed of the plans to address these problems.
"We have introduced a recruitment and retention package to stabilise our workforce. We are also bringing in training for managers and a package for our newly formed head of service group."
