Joint Area Review Gradings
There are five areas which the JAR will grade:
- Safeguarding
- Looked after children
- Children and young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities
- The collective contribution of all services to service management
- The collective capacity of services to improve
Each of these will be marked with a number from 1 to 4:
GRADE | STANDARD | DESCRIPTOR |
4 | Outstanding | A service that delivers well above minimum requirements for children and young people, is innovative and cost effective |
3 | Good | A service that consistently delivers above minimum requirements for children and young people, has some innovative practice and is increasingly cost-effective |
2 | Adequate | A service that delivers minimum requirements for children and young people, but is not demonstrably cost-effective |
1 | Inadequate | A service that does not deliver minimum requirements for children and young people and is not cost-effective |
