INVERCLYDE HSCP bosses have completed an action plan to ensure improvements are made following an inspection of fostering, adoption, and continuing care services.
At the upcoming social work and social scrutiny panel the completed plan will be shared with members.
It follows concerns raised at the last panel meeting led by Councillor James Daisley about failures in the foster service with huge pressures on carers.
In the most up to date report it also says that they are trying to address challenges in recruiting and retaining foster carers.
Chief social work officer Jonathan Hinds said: "Recruiting and retaining foster carers, including short break carers, remains a challenge for our service, though it is not unique to Inverclyde.
"In September 2024, the service commenced targeted activity with Inverclyde Council staff to explore opportunities for them to consider becoming short break carers.
"In addition, the service is developing a dedicated Inverclyde Fostering recruitment and retention strategy."
On top of this they are addressing requirements by inspectors including measures taken to ensure all looked after children have their assessments completed and plans completed without delay.
The upcoming social work and social care scrutiny panel is next Tuesday.
