Our Ofsted Report

Rated 'Requires improvement to be good' by Ofsted in January 2022

The local authority has prioritised areas for development identified through external reviews and inspections and this has led to improvements in the service and the quality of practice for some children in Blackburn with Darwen. The reduction in social worker caseloads in the systemic practice teams means that children in need of help and protection benefit from high-quality relationships with social workers, which is supporting an understanding of their experiences and enabling meaningful direct work.
