Dear Mr Read

 

Slough Borough Council do not run or manage children’s services in Slough,
therefore the answer to Q1 is no, and the answer the remaining questions
is N/A.

 

Please be aware that on the 1st October 2015 Slough Children’s Services
Trust (SCST) was established as a not-for-profit trust after intervention
by the DfE to remove children’s services from Slough Borough Council,
following a series of ‘Inadequate’ ratings. 

 

Please also note that Slough Childrens services trust are not subject to
the FOIA and this has been determined by the Information Commissioners
office.

 

Regards, SBC FOI Officer
