The overview report sets out the context for carrying out this work. The conclusions set out some key areas of practice which have been identified during this period which require development and improvement in most authorities. The remainder of the report is structured to follow the seven standards under which the recommendations in the Victoria Climbié Inquiry report were grouped for the purposes of the self audit. The analysis gives an overview of the findings from the visits to every authority. The validation process involved inspectors speaking to a total of more than 450 people including members, senior managers, managers, practitioners, other front line staff and chairs of Area Child Protection Committees (ACPCs). They also examined a sample of 220 case files across Wales and observed referral, intake and assessment services at first hand in every authority.
