As you will be aware there have been a number of significant national reports published in recent weeks, including the national review into the murders of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson as well as the national review of Children’s Social Care, led by Josh MacAlister. We will be working with partners to explore the recommendations and impact for our partnership.
