Inspectors visited us on 7 and 8 May 2025 to carry out a 'focused' visit of our arrangements specifically for children subject to a child-in-need or child protection plan.
While the report highlights areas where we continue to grow, the feedback affirms that we are on the right path, and it provides a valuable opportunity to build on what we do well.
Councillor Sam Redfern, Cabinet Member for Children and Families, praised the dedication of our teams, stating:
“Importantly for me, inspectors noted our social workers are committed to and have aspirations for the children they work with. I greatly value and recognise their efforts, but most of all I am very proud of all the children and young people across Derbyshire we support.”
