To receive an update on preparation for inspection, the current improvement plan in response to previous inspection findings, and the findings from the self-evaluation.

The committee received the report on Cheshire East’s improvement and impact plan, following the Ofsted inspections of local authority children’s services (ILACS), which addressed previous inspection findings, and the findings from the self-evaluation of the impact of early help and social care practice on outcomes for children and young people.

The committee were advised that this was a new plan and that officers would be able to bring updates on progress going forward.
