Joint reviews provide an independent assessment of how well the public is being served by social services locally. The reviews identify what authorities do well, and highlight those areas that could be improved.
A rolling programme is reviewing local authorities' social services departments each year. This work is being carried out by a specialist national team managed jointly by the Audit Commission, the Department of Health's Social Services Inspectorate (for reviews in England), and the National Assembly for Wales (for reviews in Wales).
More information about the Joint Review process can be found on the Joint Reviews of Local Authorities' Social Services website.
