This revised direction requires the council to continue to take steps to improve its children鈥檚 social care services. This includes working with the DfE-appointed Children鈥檚 Services Commissioner to establish a strategic partnership with Leeds City Council.

An independent report by the Commissioner for Children鈥檚 Services in Kirklees recommended that both Councils develop a long term formal partnership agreement to drive improvement across children鈥檚 social care.

DfE appointed the Commissioner following a that judged the overall effectiveness of Kirklees鈥� services to be inadequate.

This direction replaces the earlier statutory direction issued to the council in November 2016.

This direction was closed on 13 January 2020.
