New local authority's assessment framework launched
10 Feb 2009
The framework for the new Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) system has been published today.
Also available is a Comprehensive Area Assessment: assessing children’s services and adult learning which sets out Ofsted's contribution to CAA.
CAA provides a new way of assessing how effective and efficient local public bodies are and how they are working together to tackle local priorities. The Audit Commission has been working with Ofsted and five other inspectorates to develop CAA which will begin in April 2009.
Information from the inspectorates will be used to build up a view of how local partnerships are working to improve outcomes for local people, including, for example, supporting the local economy, improving the well being of children and young people and reducing the numbers not in education employment and training. People will have access to this information in a number of easy to use formats, including a dedicated website.
