Four out of five councils received a three- or four-star rating for their children and young people's services in the Audit Commission's 2006 Comprehensive Performance Assessment.
A commission report, entitled CPA - The Harder Test, shows that the children and young people's services provided by 79 per cent of the 150 councils surveyed had a three- or four-star rating in 2006, compared with 74 per cent in 2005.
