Councillor Catherine Faulks, lead member for family and children’s services, added: “To be graded as outstanding on three consecutive inspections is unprecedented and is a reassuring third party perspective on the work we do here to prioritise children’s safety and give young people the best possible start in life.”.
London council gets record third 'outstanding' children services inspection Two London boroughs have received a record third consecutive “outstanding” Ofsted rating for their children’s services.
Front-line worker Bijal Shah said: “When you get a message from a young person, they reach out to you to say ‘thank you for that help’, or ‘Happy Christmas’ or ‘Happy New Year’, it makes you feel you’re really making a difference, which is what it’s all about.
Leader of Kensington and Chelsea council, Elizabeth Campbell, said: “Ten years of outstanding is not only a national first, it sets a new standard for this council.
“It is against this backdrop that our tremendous teams work tirelessly to give young people the best possible start in life, even when the odds seem stacked against them.”.
