The sector remains committed to it. This is demonstrated by the levels of take-up of the offer – about a fifth of the sector have received a Corporate Peer Challenge, Finance Peer Review, or a Corporate Peer Challenge Follow Up Visit during 2016/17. 

The sustained supply of officers and member peers has enabled the deployment of more than 1,200 days of challenge and support to councils. This demonstrates a significant investment by the sector in its own improvement.
