The averagelength of orders was relatively low, but they took a comparatively long time to complete, withjust 2.5 hours being completed on average per week.Edinburgh forms part of a grouping with the three Lothian councils and Scottish Borders. It hasan established system for monitoring criminal justice social work, concentrating primarily onkey performance indicators. Quarterly reports are available for managers. However, there arelimitations to data collection across the city due to the nature of the data systems and theavailability of clerical time. A programme of service improvement is planned across the grouping,although the use of different management information systems in individual authorities is likelyto be a complicating factor.After a best value audit of hostel accommodation, to address the over-provision of unsuitableaccommodation, the Council has now identified providers for a service for women and youngoffenders needing additional support, and is seeking funding for a high-risk offender serviceincluding follow-on accommodation. Service profiles will be developed to facilitate monitoring.99
