The Department for Education awarded a contract to Cornwall Council for the appointment of a Commissioner to undertake a review of children's services in Surrey County Council.

The Commissioner was tasked with delivering a robust assessment of how improvements to services for the most vulnerable children could best be secured within the local context, setting expectations for service delivery outside of council control, and leading and brokering relationships with senior council leaders and partner organisations.

The role also involved directing urgent improvements to ensure children in the Authority are safe.

The contract value was £36,000.
