Sefton Council’s Children’s Social Care department looks set to receive over £2 million worth of new roles over the next two years if approved at the Council’s Cabinet meeting next week (Thursday 2nd September) and supported by the financial strategy for 2022/23. The £2 million due to be spent on extra staff forms part of the £7 million investment approved by Full Council earlier this year.

The additional investment into Children’s Social Care is to improve the service and help deal with the unprecedented increase in demand, which has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is an additional step on Sefton’s Children’s Services’ improvement journey following an OFSTED visit in March 2021 which highlighted areas in need of improvement. Since March, a number of additional staff have been recruited, bolstered by a transformation team and support from the Department for Education.

Cllr Mhairi Doyle MBE, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said:

“We have a committed and skilled workforce, dedicated to working on behalf of our children and I can assure families, children and young people across Sefton that we are determined to deliver to them the high-quality, responsive service they rightly expect and deserve from us.

“But the level of demand for our services is unlike anything we’ve known before, and with additional pressures from Covid-19, we recognise that improvements need to be made to Children’s Services in Sefton.

“We acknowledge the issues and challenges that OFSTED raised, and are committed to facing these head on. I am confident that the recruitment of these new posts to the Children’s Social Care team, in addition to external support from the Department of Education, will help ensure we make the improvements necessary to achieve better outcomes for children and families, and quickly. We need to make immediate improvements, and our existing staff need to see immediate relief in capacity and positive outcomes.

“We are aware of the need to focus on the management of the service and already have a new interim executive director of children’s social care and education and transformation team in place to drive the improvements.”

The agenda and papers for the meeting can be found at https://modgov.sefton.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=139&MId=10381

    Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems
    different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    It’s the best time to make some plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy.
    I’ve learn this post and if I could I want to suggest you few attention-grabbing issues
    or advice. Maybe you could write subsequent articles relating to this article.
    I want to learn more things about it!

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really
    something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for
    your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.

    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do
    with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post
    to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks

    Everything posted made a ton of sense. But, think about this,
    suppose you were to create a awesome headline? I ain’t
    suggesting your content isn’t good., but suppose you added something that grabbed folk’s
    attention? I mean Children's Social Care in Sefton sees '
    unprecedented demand' with £2m new roles to be approved – Stand Up For Southport is a little boring.
    You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write
    post headlines to grab viewers to click. You
    might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about what
    you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your
    posts a little bit more interesting.
