Awards Local Heroes Best Practice Awards 2007/08 In the category - Change and Innovation The Third Degree Inspectors are WINNERS! The Government White Paper Valuing People said that Councils had to make sure that people with learning disabilities were included in the work of Learning Disability Partnership Boards. The aim of the Third Degree Inspection project was to build on this and go a step further in enabling true involvement of people with a learning disability in the monitoring and quality of in house services. Inspections are carried out by a team of 3 supported inspectors and last 2 days, the inspectors then produce a report on their findings and assign an overall star rating for the service.

The Third Degree Inspectors gain National recognition. 2008 Winners of the National Health and Social Care Award The Third Degree Inspectors receive their third award of 2008. Endorsed by the Health Care Commission, the Department of Health and the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement had this to say about the Third Degree Inspectors. "The role has increased people's confidence and given them a sense of responsibility and purpose. Many others now wish to get involved. The project provides an innovative and inclusive model of monitoring quality that can be expanded to other services. It has led to many tangible improvements in the quality of service provision and demonstrates true involvement of service users". The idea behind the Third Degree Inspections came from the members of the Northumberland Forum for people with a Learning Disability. The members would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported their work. This was a team effort, and even though not everyone was able to make it to the awards ceremony in London this award belongs to everyone who was involved.
