As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Jones introduced the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) Annual Performance Review Letter report which provided details of the letter published on 28^th June 2019.

                        The letter summarised CIW’s evaluation of performance in relation to Adults and Children’s Services during the financial year and reported against the four key principles of the Social Services and Well-being Act.

                        The letter was a positive review of the statutory Social Services provided by the Council with full details of the areas of performance being outlined in the report.

                        The Chief Officer (Social Services) said it was pleasing to receive such a positive letter, particularly in relation to the recognition of the progress on the Micro-Care Pilot and the implementation of the Mockingbird Foster Care Model.

                        Members welcomed the report and commended the service and staff.  Councillor Bithell commented on the inclusion of care experienced children in the development of services by being members of the Children’s Services Forum which he said was invaluable and pleased to see had been recognised by CIW.

Wales assessment of the authority’s performance during the year 2018/19 be noted; and
