<p>In Fostering Better Outcomes, published in July 2018, we committed to working with
organisations representing Independent Reviewing Officers (IROs) and local authorities
to consider how the role of IROs can be put to best effect in the current system and
under existing legislation. My officials have been in regular conversations with both
the National Association of Independent Reviewing Officers and the National Independent
Reviewing Officers Manager’s Partnership to discuss how the role of IROs can be strengthened.
Both organisations have worked with their members to develop proposals. We will continue
to offer support and challenge to both these organisations as they move forward in
introducing practice improvements.</p>
