Lancashire County Council to hire more social workers

[annie]

A council which was criticised for having inadequate children's services is to spend £4.6m on recruiting social workers and hiring specialist staff.

An Ofsted report in September found "serious failures" in Lancashire County Council's care services department.

The local authority aims to hire more than 70 staff for social care, safeguarding, inspection, audit and adoption services.
