Ref: 2520
This report summarises the outcomes from the 2005 Annual Performance Assessments of local authorities' services for children and young people. It shows how effectively these services have contributed to improving the well-being of children and young people by ensuring they are healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve at school, make a positive contribution to society and are able to achieve economic well-being.
The assessments were carried out jointly by Ofsted and CSCI, and this report reflects 147 of the 150 that were undertaken across all local authority children's services. The report will be of particular interest to the Department for Education and Skills, Department of Health, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Local Government Association, Association of Directors of Social Services, Association of Professionals in Education and Children's Trusts, Confederation of Children's Services Managers, and officers and councillors who are responsible for local authorities' children and young people's plans and programmes.
