SWIA aims to inspect all local authority social work services, working in partnership with the authorities as they seek to bring about improvements.
Where it is necessary, we will keep in close contact with an authority and issue further reports. Our approach to inspection follow-up is designed to minimise the burdens placed on authorities, and to help them build their capacity to improve services.
