Our strategic inspection teams

Our strategic inspection team sits in our Assurance and Improvement directorate. We focus on the scrutiny, assurance and improvement of services provided by local authority social work services and partnerships.

We look at services for children and families, adults and older people and people involved with the justice system.

We explore how adults’ and children’s rights are promoted and upheld, the extent to which they are enabled to exercise choice and control in how their support is provided, and the outcomes they experience.
