The main findings were:
- Average Induction programmes across every region in England cover about 62% of an estimated 'best practice' checklist
- However, members do not feel (or at least remember) the benefits of their inductions as much as in theory they have been offered - Officers report an average of 70%, while Members report average of 50%

- LB Haringey reports the highest score at 96%, whereas a member from North Tyneside reports her experience covering only 8% of possible support the Council could have offered.
