Adult social care peer challenge programme identifies improvement priorities
The Local Government Association’s preparation for assurance peer challenge programme, launched in July 2022, supports councils in preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessments under the single assessment framework. This evaluation assesses the programme’s impact on improving adult social care services, based on a cross-analysis of seventeen LGA peer challenge reports and corresponding CQC local authority assessments, supplemented by findings from 31 councils awaiting CQC reports.
