10 Apr 2007
Ref: 070041
This report focuses on the outcomes of the children's services inspection resulting from the first 37 joint area reviews, which began in September 2005, and the annual performance assessment process undertaken in 2006. It draws together the findings from across each of the five Every Child Matters outcomes and judgements of all the inspectorates that work in partnership to deliver children's services inspections in accordance with the Children Act 2004.
