Three councils have seen standard levels rise in the second quarterly update of Comprehensive Performance Assessments, published by the Audit Commission. The update for single-tier and county councils takes into account the results of new-style corporate assessments, published by the audit commission, and joint area reviews of children’s services, published by the office for standards in education. Coventry and Salford city councils scored three in their new corporate assessments, and were described as ‘improving well’. Milton Keynes Council also scored three, and is ‘improving adequately’.
