Local Area Agreement

 

The Local Area Agreement is a three year agreement between central and local government negotiated through the Bristol Partnership. The current agreement
(LAA2) runs to 2011.  There are 29 priority actions in the agreement, which reflect the activities the Bristol Partnership saw as the most significant to make progress on for Bristol in 2008, when the agreement was negotiated. 


The LAA also contains 3 local targets and 10 statutory children and young people’s targets.  Finally, it includes 29 detailed reward targets from LAA 1, giving a total of 71 targets altogether

LAA 2 - Self Assessment

 

Each year, in December, the Bristol Partnership reviews how well it is delivering the LAA through preparing a self assessment. This self assessment is submitted to the Government Office for the South West (GOSW). Attached is the self assessment completed in December 2009.

 

One of the most important messages in the self assessment was the need to demonstrate the link between the work of the Local Area Agreement and the new Bristol 20:20 Plan, which was signed off in November 2009.

Comprehensive Area Assessment

 

In April 2009, the Audit Commission introduced a new way of assessing how public services are delivered locally.

 

Called the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA), it replaces the previous performance assessment regime - Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), which was more focused on individual organisations such as the council.

 

The new assessment framework will provide an annual picture of how effectively local partnerships are working together to deliver resident's priorities and improving their quality of life.
