18 February - Scrutinising Children’s and Adult’s Services
The 80 minute long Children’s and Adult’s Services Scrutiny meeting last Thursday did not provide anything particularly newsworthy. Maybe the most interesting bit was when Cabinet Member Read said that Bexley’s Social Workers are now so highly regarded that they are snapped up by other local authorities and once there, those that do not want to come back, are on the phone trying “to poach even more staff”.
