Annual performance review report for Tower Hamlets

The Social Services Inspectorate’s (SSI) Annual Performance Review Report for Tower Hamlets summarises the key strengths of performance over the last year, and highlights priorities for improvement in the year ahead. The annual review does not attempt to review all aspects of performance. It focuses on the main performance issues for which SSI has current information.

In assessing performance, SSI reaches judgements about performance against a set of standards and criteria, drawing on evidence from a number of standard sources. These include:

• the published PAF (Performance Assessment Framework) performance indicators and other statistical data up to 2002-03, plus data supporting planned targets for 2003-04;
• monitoring information from the position statement completed in June and October 2002, and the delivery and improvement statement completed in May 2003;
• the audit of services to children in need carried out in response to the report of the Victoria Climbié Inquiry; and
• the report of an SSI Inspection of Mental Health Services published in February 2003.

Details of the standards and criteria have been published, and are available from SSI, or may be seen on the Department of Health’s performance website.
