Ofsted inspectors have awarded Wiltshire Council’s Children’s Services with an “Outstanding” rating. The report states: “Since the time of the last inspection in 2019, when services were judged to be good, political, corporate and children’s services leaders have focused successfully on strengthening existing services further, investing in new preventative services and teams. “We want the very best for all our children and young people, so they are not held back by circumstances. “We will do everything in our power to be the very best corporate parent and provide excellent support and care. Councillor Jon Hubbard, the chairman of the Children’s Select Committee, described it as one of the proudest days in his time at the council.
