Children's Services in Birmingham

Many of the blog readers either work for Birmingham City Council or will have children living in the Birmingham area, so you may be interested in reading Ofsted's assessment of services for children and young people in Birmingham in 2008. The Council is graded on 7 aspects of the services it provides with comments provided to explain the mark that has been awarded in each area. According to Ofsted, improvements could be made in the area of keeping children safe, while the Council's strengths are in making a postive contribution to children's outcomes and helping young people to achieve economic wellbeing.
