The Accountability Index Beta

UK public services are scrutinised by a huge range of independent bodies: public inquiries, coroners, ombudsmen, parliament, auditors, inspectorates, regulators. Alongside sits exhaustive performance data - on NHS trusts, police forces, prisons, councils, and central government. All of it published separately, in different formats, on different websites.

The Accountability Index connects them and makes them visible: what oversight bodies have found, what early warning signs appear across sources, what has gone wrong, what good practice is recorded elsewhere, and whether commitments made in response have been delivered. For those who hold public services to account, it is a comprehensive record that no single oversight source can provide.
