The area information on Oneplace comes from an evaluation of public services known as Comprehensive Area Assessment. These assessments ended in June 2010. This website covers the annual assessments first released in December 2009, and will not be updated further.

Glossary

The Oneplace website has been developed for people who are interested in how their local public services are doing.

We have tried to write in a style that is easy to understand. But some of the words and phrases we use on the website might not be familiar to everyone. This glossary has been written to help you understand some of the words and phrases used in assessments and on public services' websites.
