Commentary on Sections Schedule 2:  Director of children’s services: consequential amendments Section 24: Performance rating of social services
132.This section amends section 79(2) of the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 (c.43) (annual reviews). Section 79(2) of that Act requires the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) to review each local authority in England's social services provision annually and award the authority a performance rating. This amendment means that CSCI will award one performance rating in respect of services to children and care leavers (subsection (2)(a)) and another in respect of all other social services (subsection (2)(b)).
