Monitoring & Review
Monitoring and ReviewSupporting People funded projects are regularly monitored to ensure that they meet our required standards. Agencies must submit quarterly monitoring forms and attend regular meetings.
Schemes will be subject to a comprehensive Initial Service Review and follow up reviews every three years.
The Initial Service Review is based on the Welsh Assembly defined service aims and examines key areas of the service, such as strategic relevance, quality, and value for money. Agencies are expected to undertake a self-assessment for the quality of their service based on the specified service areas.
In order to verify the accuracy of the information in these assessments, “validation visits” will be made to the provider, service users and stakeholders. In order to evaluate the cost effectiveness and value for money of the service, agencies must provide evidence to prove how the Supporting People funding has been spent.
A task and finish group involving Supporting People Teams throughout Gwent is being set up to adopt a Pan-Gwent Reviewing Methodology. This standardisation will be of significant advantage to providers who work across authority within Gwent. Providers will, at a later date, be consulted on this piece of work. The new methodology will be in place prior to the commencement of the follow-up review.
