The involvement of an adviser to support the Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council emphasises the need for expertise in both intervention strategies and monitoring, creating avenues for firms that can demonstrate impactful approaches in these areas.

## Notice

DfE has appointed an Adviser to provide intervention and improvement support in Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council. The Adviser will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of the council's progress in line with improvement plans.
