The Overview and Scrutiny Committee met to discuss the council's response to a recent [Inspection of Local Authority Children's Services (ILACS)][^1] report, which rated Harrow Council's children's services as 'inadequate' overall, despite awarding 'good' ratings to two of the four judgement categories. The committee noted the report and discussed actions being taken to improve the service, particularly for care leavers.
