The second pillar is focussed on providing bespoke support to the local authority client and facilitating knowledge sharing. The flexibility of this pillar is a fundamental feature that allows the local authority client to utilise features as and when they are needed, for example during contract review or making decisions such as facility rationalisation.
The third pillar focuses on assessments and mystery visits which are highly valued by the sector. They promote best practice across the sector and seek to raise standards for those areas of the sector where working to achieve sector standards and improving on them are highly valued.
