CHILDREN'S SERVICES

Slough's services put children first

In April, Slough’s independent children’s services trust became wholly owned by the council. Josie Wragg and Tony Hunter talk to Ann McGauran about their rapport and shared vision despite the local authority’s hugely challenging financial position.

When it comes to the quality of services for local children, chief executive of Slough Council Josie Wragg is determined not to focus on the problems of the past.

While being entirely upfront about the need for improvement, she wants to talk about the future – a vision for first-class integrated services for children, along with ‘the model, the ability and the collaboration to best achieve that'.
