Audit Commission Report on SP Programme
Since 2003 the Audit Commission has carried out a programme of inspections of all authorities responsible for delivering the Supporting People grant and associated programme. Inspections were carried out with partner inspectorates CSCI and HMIP.Each team included a service user inspector.
In October 2005 the Commission published a national study (Supporting People 2005), reviewing the then state of the programme, and made a number of recommendations for the future. CLG responded to many of the issues identified by the Commission in their subsequent strategy published in 2007 (Independence and Opportunities June 2007).
From November 2008 with research undertaken up to February 2009, the Commission carried out this second review, this time specifically for CLG, to look at overall impact and successes of the programme; the progress against the 2005 recommendations; on going and existing concerns and new challenges linked to developing policies and changes in the external environment. It also looked for options for overcoming identified barriers and promoting opportunities.
