Evaluation of the manageability of the joint area review and corporate assessment process

24 Feb 2006 Ofsted

n 2005, KPMG was commissioned to undertake an evaluation of the manageability of the early pilots and the first tranche of the aligned corporate assessments and joint area reviews.

The report, published in February 2006, set out a number of recommendations and, together, the Audit Commission, Ofsted and the inspectorates involved in the joint area reviews drew up an action plan to address them.

The Audit Commission and Ofsted, on behalf of the inspectorates involved in the joint area reviews, commissioned a further evaluation by KPMG to assess the impact of the changes made to the two processes in response to the recommendations.

This 2007 report sets out KPMG's findings. The evaluation points to a number of significant changes that have been made to improve the manageability of the processes, some of which were introduced as a result of the inspectorates' and commissions' own evaluation processes, as well as in response to the recommendations in KPMG's first report.
