| Annotation | This summary of a fuller report of the review aims to give local people a clear and independent view of how well Sheffield responds to those who need information and help, plans for its population as a whole, and uses its resources. Although some people receive good services, the Joint Review considers that Sheffield's population is currently not well served by its social services. Key issues for improving service provision include: ensuring that it carries out all its statutory duties and can continue to do so; improving its approach to assessing people's needs and ensuring that services meet assessed demands; identifying the quantity, quality and effectiveness of all services; developing its approach to commissioning services, leading to improved choice and value of services; agreeing the nature and extent of devolved decision-making; and providing better management and financial information, and ensuring this is used to improve decision making.
