• When asked how easy it would be to implement the recommendations of the Munro review effectively given the current economic climate, 65% thought it would be ‘Quite Difficult’, and 24% thought it would be ‘Very Difficult’.

The recommendations of Professor Eileen Munro’s review of the child protection system have generally been welcomed, but it remains to be seen whether the government will be able to put them into practice.

Liquid Personnel’s view of the results:

“The Munro review contains many valuable recommendations, particularly with regards to moving away from a ‘compliance culture’ and performance indicators, and focusing on quality time achieving outcomes for service users. Children’s Services teams need the freedom and the funding to be able to implement these changes at this crucial time.”
