29 local authorities are rated overall ‘good’ under the current Single Inspection Framework. However, not every local authority has been inspected under that framework.

Of the remainder, one is rated 'good' for overall effectiveness under the unannounced inspection of local authority arrangements for the protection of children framework and 18 are rated 'good' for safeguarding overall effectiveness under the safeguarding and looked after children inspection framework.
