Ofsted highlights concerns with Cheshire West and Chester's children's services after review.
A council has been told it needs to improve how it looks after homeless young people and children leaving care.
The council said it was disappointed by the judgement but that the report "acknowledges a high proportion of positive practice".In its first review of the council's children's services since 2019, Ofsted highlighted that too many children who went missing were not, on their return, interviewed about where they had been and whom they had been with.
In 78% of cases, young people were placed in them because there were no regulated children's home places available at the time.Adam Langan, Cheshire West and Chester’s cabinet member for children and young people said the council was developing a “robust improvement plan”.
