Our shared aim is to support better outcomes for citizens, seeking always to protect their interests by reporting without fear or favour on the public services that fall within our remit. By working together effectively, the impact we can have for the citizen can be increased. Whilst we have always pursued joint and collaborative working, we know that we can do more to co-ordinate the planning and delivery of our respective work programmes, and to share knowledge and information between our organisations.

Governed by clear principles and shared objectives, our collaboration must be visible and demonstrate the value it adds to our activities. We have therefore entered into a strategic agreement between our four organisations which sets out how we will further develop our collaborative working arrangements.
