Things can only get better

Swansea Council receives a presentation this afternoon from the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales. They are reporting on their findings from assessments made earlier this year. Whether the details covered by recent Serious Case Reviews have ever actually been taken into account during CSSIW checks has not been clarified. Swansea's childrens services were put under special measures by WAG ministers this time last year following a succession of poor results.
Current betting is that the local authority will be issuing a statement claiming significant improvements regardless of what is in the report.
