There remain 'serious concerns' with the children's service department which had oversight of Logan Mwangi, the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) said as it published its report into Bridgend County Borough Council.
It also raised issues about staff absence and recruitment and an overdependence on newly qualified and agency social workers.
CIW chief inspector, Gillian Baranski, said she was pleased to acknowledge some improvement since the last inspection in April 2021 but added that:"Further urgent action must be taken to secure and sustain improvement in the care and support for children and families in Bridgend. This work must be prioritised to ensure the best possible outcomes for children.
She said:"A great deal of work has already taken place to improve the overall quality of our services for children and their families, and much of this has been highlighted by the report. "For example, we have commissioned a programme of independent quality assurance to assess the strengths and areas for development in children's services, are actively recruiting new employees, and are carefully redeploying existing staff to provide additional support in areas experiencing the most pressure.
"The council also remains committed towards strengthening the overall effectiveness and resilience of its services for children, and we will continue to liaise closely with the inspectors as we seek to deliver further improvements."
