An update on monitoring returns
In June 2010 we sent out an email to all monitoring officers explaining that we had decided to postpone the return for the April to June quarter. As part of the review of the Business Plan we considered our requests for local authorities to complete quarterly monitoring. There will be no further requests for the submission of quarterly or annual returns. We do not anticipate re-establishing these procedures, unless a specific monitoring need arises in which we have to play a part.
The online questionnaires have been removed from our website and are now inaccessible. However, the information submitted by local authorities is available on request. If any authority wishes to obtain a copy we can provide them with pdf versions of any of the following:
- The standards committee composition details, correct as of the last date of monitoring (31 March 2010)
- Two years of case information, listed in chronological order by date received
- Annual Return 2008/09
- Annual Return 2009/10
Please email requests to authorityreturns@standardsforengland.gov.uk
Aggregated summary statistics of the quarterly return information are still available online at http://www.standardsforengland.gov.uk/CaseinformationReporting/Localstatistics/
We will shortly be publishing an online report of the annual return information collected for 2009/10. This includes an introduction to the data, a key figures page, a summary of the findings and a full list of all the most common responses to each question.
