City of York Council appointed to support other local authorities in children's services
What happened
Rachael Maskell welcomed Georgia Gould, Minister of State for School Standards, to York Central. During the visit, the minister observed children’s services led by City of York Council, which has improved from ‘requiring improvement’ to ‘outstanding’ in one inspection period. The city was subsequently appointed by the Government as a Children’s Social Care Improvement Team to support other local authorities.
