    6. What it is not.. A peer review is not an inspection Rather it is a supportive review undertaken by friends, although they may sometimes be critical friends

    7. Why Peer Review? For the authority under review to have their areas of strength and achievements noted and those areas of governance in which they are weak and therefore need improvement identified.
