The council has announced that Sharon Menghini, the council’s current director of children’s services, will leave the council at the end of March. The management of children’s social care will be merged with adult services.
Adult services director Tony Oakman will take on responsibility for handling children’s social care and areas such as children’s centres. He will be assisted by an interim children’s director during the merger.
