One place

Oneplace, the reporting website for Comprehensive Area Assessment, is now live. For independent information about how local public services are tackling their major issues, visit their website.

Oneplace covers the 152 main areas in England , measuring how well local services work together to meet both their own priorities and government indicators on, for example, anti-social behaviour and teenage pregnancy.

Oneplace also features the ratings for councils, and fire and rescue authorities. Building on councils' recent track record of improvement, the Audit Commission is publishing assessments of councils on a revised basis, stripping out much of the detail and reflecting today's challenges, such as carbon reduction. The new assessments look at how well councils and fire and rescue authorities manage their performance, and make use of the resources available to them.

Oneplace also links to the ratings from Ofsted on children's services, which are also published today, and the Care Quality Commission's assessments of adult social care, released last week.

Oneplace is brought to you by the Audit Commission, the Care Quality Commission, Ofsted, and her Majesty's Inspectorates of Constabulary, Prisons and Probation.
