A Guide to Joint Reviews in Wales

A Guide to Joint Reviews in Wales provides an introduction to the overall framework for the 2nd round of joint reviews, which will start in 2004. It sets out the rationale behind the review programme and the structure of the review process.

More detailed material is included in the Joint Review Handbook which guides you chronologically through the different phases of the joint review process and the activities associated with them. It is intended primarily for those who are actively involved in joint reviews, to help them prepare and to ensure a good understanding of mutual responsibilities.

Below are listed the individual documents pertaining to each stage of the joint review and to the right is the complete handbook in one document for ease of printing.  Please be aware though that the complete handbook is 481 pages long.
