Can authorities see the reports of third party assessors and do they have a right to reject the decision reached by Third Party Assessors?
LAs should expect to see a summary report of the assessment. LAs should also ensure that even if 3rd parties are being engaged to perform the assessment that they pass on any information held centrally to the assessor, this would include the most recent audit report any any concerns about the schools financial management. LAs will not have the right to reject a decision reached by 3rd party assessors.
