Somewhat disturbed, actually, to hear that Cambridgeshire County Council is under a formal Notice to Improve due to ‘poor performance in Children’s Services’.  This follows its Ofsted inspection last October.  Let’s hope progress has been made: when things go wrong with a local authority’s role of protecting vulnerable children, the results can be tragic.  An initial progress report should be due shortly, and a further report in the summer.  One to keep an eye out for.
