Trevor Doughty will lead the LGA's team of children's improvement advisers (CIA) from later this month. The team was launched last year to help children’s services improve nationally.

While he was strategic director for children, families and adults at Cornwall Council, its children’s services was lifted from "good" to "outstanding" by Ofsted last year. Inspectors were particularly impressed with support for looked-after children and those on the edge of care.

He joined Cornwall a decade ago to improve children’s services amid concerns around the quality of support for vulnerable children.

He also has a track record of overseeing improvements at other local authorities.
