I currently eagerly await the arrival of a pile of failed Peer Review files. Despite my creeping pessimism about the chances of making successful representations I am keen to get this job moving given an impending deadline, two days hols Thursday and Friday plus a busy week next week.

I have seen the report but not the files and it contains many similarities to previous negative outcomes especially advice recording in the Police Station. Unfortunately this - the only practical guide on the scheme by its creators - doesn't cover PACE.

More news on Peer Review next week.
