1 min read Social Care
A council has been rated "outstanding" for the support it provides children in care, with children's services overall receiving a "good" rating.

An inspection of provision in Brent found that strong leadership at a political level and throughout the council had resulted in
significant improvements in the quality of social work practice for children since the last inspection in 2015 when it was rated "requires improvement".

"The care for children and care leavers is outstanding," the latest inspection report states.

"Senior leaders recognise and prioritise the needs of children and young
people. They focus their attention on the things that matter and inspire staff to perform well."
