February Newsletter 2017

April 10, 2017 by Sally Mortimore

A slightly thinner newsletter this February, but interesting nonetheless.

Dates for your diaries: London IRO conference – 16th June 2017 hosted by the City of London – we can only have 2 IROs from each contract but that does mean we can legitimately have 6 places if we are careful!!

Newsletter
[Brent Council, IRO client] There is good evidence of IRO scrutiny and challenge with good impact.
Ofsted, May 2018
It has been such a pleasure to work with Aidhour on this case. The IRO’s observations, pointing out things that were not going right, insistence to ensure they are worked on and openness in approach, taught me a lot. Thank you!
Independent Social Worker
[City of London Corporation, Annual Audit client] Audit arrangements for the provision of services to care leavers are good. Audits are effective tools in identifying the difference that practice has made to improve outcomes for young people. They are qualitatively focused as well as compliance focused…”
Ofsted, October 2018
I can’t thank you enough for being available along the way and the flexibility you have shown and the honesty and quality of your reports which have been most professional
[written by a Father about supervised contact service] September 2016
Regular visits and reports from the independent visitor (Aidhour) have offered an important source of scrutiny and challenge for the interim manager. She recently helped to simplify the consultation papers, which are now widely used by young people.
Ofsted Inspection Report
[Aidhour Associate] is thorough but fair, and has a lovely way of engaging with our most challenging young people, and interacting with the staff. We appreciate her advice and she is approachable. I have found the Director to be responsive and cooperative to any contact or request I make and I have never had any cause to raise any issue of concern or to make a complaint. Aidhour have kept within our agreed budget limits.
Head of Children’s Safeguarding, County Council
[Ealing Council, IRO client] “IROs provide good quality written records following each review. IROs bring additional safeguarding scrutiny by monitoring children’s progress between reviews. The timeliness of LAC reviews and the level of participation by children in their reviews, both at 96%, are very good”.
Ofsted, October 2018
Aidhour were professional in their approach to the tendering process and we negotiated a contract with minimal problem.  
Head of Children’s Safeguarding, County Council
***** is my IRO and even though I have had 8 different social workers since I have been in care, he has been the same. Now he helps me chair my own reviews.

Aidhour Associates are highly professional, whilst at the same time open in their approach when this includes family or significant others to any young person in placement.
