WC has been formally issued with an "Improvement Notice" by the government. This instructs the council to put right the many failings in the safeguarding children and young people and adoption services, with the threat of direct intervention should they be unable to do so. The Department for Education sets out a programme of activity to get the council back on course. Officials from the DfE will sit in on meetings.

The cabinet member for Children's Services is Conservative councillor Lionel Grundy OBE and the portfolio holder for Children's Services is Conservative Laura Mayes.
