Speakers:

Joyce is a social worker in the children and young people’s service, as the council continues on its improvement journey.

Background:

Newham’s children’s services were inspected by Ofsted in February 2019. The inspection resulted in an “inadequate” rating for services. And since then, there have been subsequent monitoring visits showing positive signs of improvement and that the service has delivered a well-coordinated response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
