The process through which local government measures its performance is changing.  This will affect all departments within your council.  However, you know that the demands placed on you within children's services and the outcomes expected are significantly higher.  You need to be fully prepared and ready for the new developments.

Local Government Chronicle has investigated the most pressing challenges facing you.  We have designed a programme to reflect these and provide you with the means to find the answers to all your questions.
