- BBC Hereford & Worcester's campaign to gain recognition for the munitions workers of World War One and Two will be discussed at Westminster today

- An Ofsted inspection has rated Worcestershire County Council's children services as "inadequate" 

Worcestershire's children's services have been labelled "inadequate" by Ofsted. 

After an inspection in the autumn, the government watchdog says it found widespread and serious failures in a service supposed to help and protect children.

An NSPCC spokesman said: "This report paints a deeply worrying picture of a stretched department with deep-rooted problems.

"Relying less on agency workers, and reducing caseloads for staff, will be key to stabilising the workforce and ensuring sustained improvements are made.

"A coherent plan and strong leadership was required to address serious concerns raised in a peer review in 2015, but these have been lacking.

"Though changes are now being made, Ofsted says services remain fragile and it is clear there is a long way to go to ensure sustained improvements are made and children are kept safe."

The council has apologised and say they accept the findings.
