for all to operate in effectively”

Policy, Partnerships and Performance Team

National perspective• Strong & Prosperous Communities White Paper,

Oct 06• New national framework – Local Area

Agreements• Fewer performance measures• Local determination of priorities• Focus on area rather than organisation = CPA to

CAA• Delivery in partnership rather than separately

Policy, Partnerships and Performance Team

Key Considerations/Influences

• LAA themes (x6) and priorities (x10)

• Partner organisations capacity to deliver

• Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) and the National Indicator set (CLG & The Audit Commission)

• GOEM

Policy, Partnerships and Performance Team

Key Questions• How well are we meeting the targets of the ‘new’

LAA (2008-11)?• How well are we delivering the actions in the

LAA delivery plans?• How well are we managing financial resources?• How well are we achieving the stretch targets of

the first LAA (2006-09)?• How well are we performing against all National

Indicators?
