Devon County Council is the second largest local authority in England. The area covered by us includes a range of market and coastal towns, the city of Exeter and a mass of rural villages.
Devon Social Services earned a higher performance rating in in December 2005 following its annual review by the Government's Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI).
A large increase in the number of people being helped by Social Services to stay out of hospital and return home safely and as soon as possible after a hospital visit, has helped the Council attain the 'two star' rating - a rise on last year's single star.
CSCI concluded that Social Services in Devon are serving most adults well, some children well, and that the service has promising capacity for improvement.
