Council and democracy

Joint Area Review

A joint area review (JAR) of services for children & young people in Hertfordshire took place in May 2007, at the same time as the Audit Commission's Corporate Assessment of the County Council.

The JAR judges the contribution that the council and its partners in the local area are making to improve outcomes for children and young people. Following 2 weeks of fieldwork during which inspectors spoke to children & young people, and people who provide services to them, the JAR report was published on 14 August 2007.
