Significant improvements made in childrenâs social care after council rated inadequate by Ofsted A council whose children s social care services were rated as inadequate by Ofsted have been told they can continue to take the lead on delivering care after making significant improvements. Two years ago, an Ofsted inspection rated Blackpool children s social care service as “inadequate” with an independent review later declaring that children’s social care should remain under council control but with rigorous assessments continuing for at least another year. Now, the Commissioner in charge of the review, Helen Lincoln, has carried out a final assessment in which she recommends to the minister that the council is in good position to continue to deliver effective children’s social care services in Blackpool and that there is no need for further intervention on her part or for consideration of an alternative delivery method.
