Decision:
As detailed in the recommendation.
Minutes:
Councillor Jones introduced the report and explained that in October, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) announced that they would be visiting Flintshire to undertake a full, routine PEI (Performance Evaluation Inspection) of both Adult’s and Children’s Services.
The purpose of the inspection was to review the local authority’s performance in exercising its social services duties and functions in line with legislation, on behalf
of Welsh Ministers. It was to be the first full inspection the portfolio had received for over 8 years and was an opportunity to showcase the creative and innovative practice undertaken in Flintshire.
The full report was published on 22nd February 2024 and was largely positive in their findings across Social Services. An action plan had been produced based on the recommendations made by inspectors.
The Chief Officer (Social Services) thanked the team who had supported the work required through the challenging inspection. He added that the inspectors had commented on the positive support provided by Councillors. The report had been submitted to Social and Health Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee where the recommendations had been supported. Councillor Roberts also expressed his thanks to the Chief Officer and the team.
RESOLVED:
That the outcome of the report be noted and the resulting Action Plan be supported.
