North Lincolnshire recently received a rating of Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted, the national organisation which regulates and inspects children’s services across the United Kingdom.

In fact, this is the third consecutive year that they have been rated Outstanding which is a fantastic achievement.

“Everything we do is geared towards children staying in their families, their schools, and their communities and ensuring when we need to step in and support, it is second to none.”

The leader of North Lincolnshire Council, Cllr Rob Waltham said, “Everything we do is geared towards children staying in their families, their schools, and their communities and ensuring when we need to step in and support, it is second to none.”

Ofsted stated in their report, “The commitment to children as a priority for the council and across the partnership is exemplary. Senior leaders have created a culture in which social work has flourished.”

Ofsted also praised the leadership team’s significant agility during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also giving continued focus to service development and innovation.
