Comprehensive Area Assessment

Before 1st April 2009, Councils were subject to the Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), a Government assessment of the performance of all Authorities in England. 2008 represented the final year of the CPA process and we were delighted to be awarded top-performing four-star status, the highest rating possible.  Read more about our previous CPA results. 

You can also read more about our performance in our Annual Audit & Inspection letter produced by the Audit Commission. Read further information about the CPA..
 
Since 1st April 2009, all Councils and other public sector partners, are subject to the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) process.  Administered by the Audit Commission, the CAA process focuses on how well residents are being served by all their local public service providers, how that compares with elsewhere and what prospects there are for future improvement.

In addition, the CAA process also looks in detail at the performance of individual Council services through detailed Use of Resources and Managing performance assessments. Read more about the CAA process.  You can also:

• Read our area self evaluation 
• Read our Managing Performance self assessment 

The final results from the first year of CAA will be published by the Audit Commission in late November 2009.
