September 2016

November 28, 2016 by Sally Mortimore

This newsletter follows a good review from our work in Ealing by Ofsted – the IRO and Foster Carer review services were positively commented upon.

Newsletter
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.
Ofsted inspectors
[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] A group of strong, committed and experienced independent reviewing officers act as passionate advocates for children.
Ofsted
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
[Ealing Council, IRO client] A group of strong, committed and experienced IROs act as passionate advocates for children, and … offer appropriate challenge.
Ofsted
[Aidhour] Analysis and evaluation of performance are meticulous. Quality assurance, including case auditing, is robust and leads to sustained improvements.

***** 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.    
Head of Residential Services, Private Enterprise Childrens Services
[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.
