Children's services let down by 'underfunding and staff shortages', Wigan Council boss claimed
Children’s services at Wigan Council are under ‘huge pressures’ due to ‘underfunding and staffing shortages’, bosses have claimed following an Ofsted inspection stating they ‘required improvement’. Response to domestic abuse concerns being 'not sufficiently robust' and child-protection plans not being specific enough were highlighted by inspectors back in May.
