<p>The department uses a wide range of indicators to measure the effectiveness of
the children’s care system. These are provided at local, regional and national level
in the department’s statistical first releases and brought together in our local authority
interactive tool. This can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait</a>.</p><p>We
also use Ofsted judgements to assess the effectiveness of children’s services. This
enables the department to intervene where necessary, to follow up on any concerns
in local authorities and to explore good practice.</p><p> </p>
