Minutes:
In presenting the report, Councillor Paul Maslin commented that the results
were unsurprising as they accorded with the authority’s own self assessment.
He highlighted the various aspects of performance which had been
categorised as ‘good’ and pointed out Improvement Plans were in place to
raise overall performance. Councillor Joan Millbank added that the Corporate
Parenting Group, of which she was a member, were also committed to
securing improvements.
The Executive Director of Children & Young People pointed out the Chair of
the Lewisham Safeguarding Children Board, Chris Doorly, was about to retire
and the Mayor agreed it would be entirely appropriate for a letter of thanks to
be sent to her.
