  • Medway Statutory Direction January 2021
    STATUTORY DIRECTION TO MEDWAY COUNCIL IN RELATION TO CHILDREN’S SERVICES UNDER SECTION 497A(4B) OF THE EDUCATION ACT 1996 WHEREAS: 1. The Secretary of State for Education (“the Secretary of State”) has noted in respect of Medway Council (“the Council”) that performance in respect of children’s social care services is ‘inadequate’ as detailed in Ofsted’s inspection report of 27 August 2019 (the 2019 Ofsted report). 2. The Council’s failure led the Secretary of State to issue a statutory direction on 27 August 2019 (“the first direction”), requiring the Council to comply with any instructions of the Secretary of State or the Children’s Services Commissioner; and to co-operate with a Commissioner-led review of services. 3. The first direction was replaced with a second direction on 7 January 2020 (“the second direction”), requiring the Council to work with a Leadership Improvement Partner and extending the appointment of the Children’s Services Commissioner. 4. The Secretary of State has carefully considered: a. Ofsted’s inspection report of 27 August 2019, which found the Council’s delivery of children’s social care services, particularly in relation to the impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families and the experiences and progress of children who need help and protections to be rated as ‘inadequate’. b. Ofsted’s letter of 15 September 2020 following its August Monitoring Visit which noted the progress made by the Council and that the leaders had laid the foundations for practice to change and improve, with signs these were beginning to have positive effect.

Type Full PS Category 21 Officer Stefan Fludger Reason for Listed by Councillor Chris Bowring determination by committee FOR CONSIDERATION BY Planning Committee on Wednesday, 12 December 2018 REPORT PREPARED BY Assistant Director – Place ADDENDUM REPORT Background: 1. The determination of this application was deferred by the Planning Committee on 14th November 2018 in order that a site visit could be made to assess the impacts of the development on the adjacent neighbour and the character of the area. The application was originally listed by Councillor Chris Bowring in the event it was recommended for approval. Additional information: 2. Following the application being deferred, the development proposal has not changed. However, additional information has been submitted to address concerns regarding a neighbouring objection from the occupants at number 9 Medway Close, specifically relating to loss of light. Chartered surveyor’s letter dated 21/11/2018 agrees with the assessment made in the original officers report, that sufficient daylight distribution would be retained in the neighbouring habitable room should this application be approved and the proposal would not result in harm contrary to BRE Guidance. Additionally it is agreed that approved development on the side of the neighbour would inevitably take light from the applicant’ site.
