Council’s children’s services rated outstanding in all areas
A council’s children’s services department has been rated outstanding in all areas after a recent Ofsted inspection.
Inspectors said Bromley council provides children with “exceptionally strong services,” following the review in November 2023.
The council scored the top rating in all four categories, including the impact of leaders on social work practice, the experiences and progress of children who need protection, children in care and care leavers.
Councillor Kate Lymer, deputy leader and executive councillor for children, education and families, said: “I want to thank our hardworking staff for their passion, dedication and brilliance and that of our police and health partners, too.”
