Inspectors praised “high-quality services” for children and families delivered by North Yorkshire council following an inspection in July.

Their report states: “All services share high aspiration and ambition for children, which enhances their lives and opportunities.

“Leaders have built on their well-established culture and service initiatives to further develop and improve services for children since the outstanding judgement at the last inspection in 2018.”

Following the judgment, council leaders launched a campaign “to attract experienced children’s social workers to North Yorkshire and build on the ‘outstanding’ work that has been undertaken to support young people across the county”.

The council is seeking to appoint 14 social workers across all locations in North Yorkshire, with a particular focus on strengthening its teams based across Yorkshire coast locations, where its largest teams are based, according to the campaign.
