Corporate peer challenge is a valued improvement and assurance tool, delivered by the sector for the sector.

Free to all England councils, peer challenge supports your council's improvement journey for the benefit of residents and communities.

Funding reductions for councils would be disastrous. This is why, ahead of the Autumn Budget and Local Government Finance Settlement, we've written to the Chancellor calling for measures to support and stabilise the sector’s finances in 2025/26: https://t.co/lO9GsYzlKg #Budget

Corporate peer challenge is a free improvement and assurance tool for councils.

Providing robust and credible challenge and support - #LocalGov leaders say the process had a positive impact on their council.
