East Riding of Yorkshire Council's children's services have been rated as good by Ofsted, less than three years after being told by inspectors they were inadequate.

The inspectors rated the overall effectiveness of the services as good following ‘significant and sustained changes in all the practice and leadership areas identified for improvement’ in the previous inspection which took place in December 2019.

Eoin Rush, executive director of children, families and schools at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: ‘This good overall judgement is a great achievement, good news for our children, parents and carers in the East Riding and a huge credit to our workforce and partners.

‘The poor inspection outcome in 2019, gave us all cause to reflect and think about how we were doing and what we were doing but it also garnered a real determination across the whole of the service area to make sure we do better for our children and young people.’

Ofsted acknowledged the work carried out by officers and noted that ‘through the extensive engagement with external partners and scrutineers, the improvements in the service mean that children and young people in the East Riding receive a timely and effective response and intervention when they need it.’

They also recognised that ‘senior leaders have significantly improved services to children’ and there is a ‘strong and caring leadership team in children's services that leads by example’.
