Students unfairly treated
QUESTION: What does Surrey have in common with Haringey, Milton Keynes and Doncaster? (and nowhere else?). ANSWER: Surrey's Children's Services have been rated 'inadequate' by Ofsted, with a rating for 2008 of just 1 out of 4.
This judgement in Ofsted's Annual Performance Assessment is NOT based solely on the services for children in need that were the subject of Ofsted's Joint Area Review earlier in the year.
For the Annual Performance Assessment, Surrey's overall services for Children and Young People were graded using the 'Every Child Matters' outcomes as follows:
Being Healthy - Grade 2 - Adequate
Staying safe - Grade 1 - Inadequate
Enjoying and achieving - Grade 3 - Good
Making a positive contribution - Grade 2 - Adequate
Achieving economic well-being -Grade 2 - Adequate
Capacity to improve, including the management of children's services - Grade 1 - Inadequate
This has given the overall rating of '1', Inadequate.
The Conservative Executive Member responsible says "it's very disappointing".
