CQC has published six new reports under its new responsibilities to assess how local authorities are meeting their responsibilities to make sure people have access to adult social care and support.
The six new reports look at:
-

-
London Borough of Brent, rated requires improvement
-
County Durham, rated good
-
Derby City Council, rated requires improvement
-
Derbyshire County Council, rated good
-
Hertfordshire County Council, rated good
The reports look at 9 areas spread across 4 themes to check how well the authority is meeting their responsibilities. Each area is given a score out of 1 to 4. A score of 1 is given when evidence shows significant shortfalls for this area, and 4 when evidence shows an exceptional standard is being met.
