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
My IRO knew me since I was three, he saw me going through primary and secondary.

[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
[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
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.    
Head of Residential Services, Private Enterprise Childrens Services
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] support local authority leaders and managers to routinely identify where services for children need to be improved in order to be consistently good or better than good.
Ofsted
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
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
[Ealing Council, IRO client] A group of strong, committed and experienced IROs act as passionate advocates for children, and … offer appropriate challenge.
Ofsted
The local authority have recently acquired the services of a new independent person (Aidhour) to undertake the monitoring inspections of the home. As a result the quality of external monitoring has improved and provides a greater critique of the quality of care provided.
