Peer Review and Annual Ofsted Inspection
The City of Salford Children's Services recently commissioned the Local Government Group (LGG) to carry out a Peer Review of safeguarding services.

The Peer Review also provides helpful comments on the role of the SSCB in monitoring and setting the agenda for change across all agencies in Salford. The letter from the Director of Children's Services and a copy of the Peer Review Report can be accessed below.
