00:00So it's been widely acknowledged that since 2023 we've had an ILAC inspection.
00:05During that ILAC inspection, Peterborough City Council's Children's Services was
00:10told that we needed to improve. We were rated as inadequate. Since then there's
00:14been significant investment into the service which has enabled more foster
00:18carers, which has enabled a MASH, which is a multi-agency service hub, to be
00:24located within San Martin House here in Peterborough and Ofsted have said that
00:28the progress that the MASH has made is fantastic, that within less than a year
00:33the service is doing what it needs to do. We're fully aware that things still need
00:37to improve but the shoots are there and they're growing fast and I couldn't be
00:41prouder to be cabinet member for Children's Services and Education here
00:45in Peterborough. The best thing is that the service is improving for the
00:48children here in Peterborough and I just want them to thrive, not survive.
