Asking the right questions to drive better outcomes for children and young people
Children’s services are under intense pressure, with rising demand, complex needs and constrained budgets.
This practical on-line learning event explores how councillors and scrutiny officers can use meaningful performance, financial and risk information to provide strong, evidence-led oversight.
The session focuses on asking the right questions, understanding risk, and balancing child safeguarding and wellbeing with the responsible use of limited resources – so scrutiny leads to insight, influence and real improvement.
Join us to explore the topic, take part in the conversation and help shape stronger oversight.
