Trafford Children's Services Under Fire | Manchester News

Trafford council is on the brink of losing control of its children’s services after a damning Ofsted report labeled them “inadequate,” revealing children were left in danger for too long due to systemic delays — and leadership only realized the severity when inspectors pointed it out. The government has intervened, sending in an expert advisor, echoing a similar 2019 failure. Councillors are stunned and scrambling, while advocates warn real kids are paying the price with no childhoods restored. The council leader apologized, but blame games over communication have erupted — some say data was misunderstood, others claim it never reached top levels. Opposition parties have already voted no confidence, and the advisor may now recommend imposing a children’s trust to take over — if Trafford can’t fix itself.
