Summary
Following local government reorganisation, disparate teams from former local councils came together to form a new Employment, Skills and Learning department in a newly merged council, now known as Cheshire West and Chester Council. Support was requested from LSIS Improvement and Development Service to develop cohesion across the provision. They received an Organisational Health Check (OHC), a few days advisory support and used the strengths of a passionate and committed staff with good teamwork to develop a new quality framework. Central to the quality framework is an E Quality Handbook.
The results of their hard work were rewarded with a good Ofsted inspection report.
