Ref: 20100004

This report looks at the findings from the first year of Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA). It is published by six inspectorates responsible for assessing local public services in England – the Audit Commission, Care Quality Commission, Her Majesty’s Inspectorates of Constabulary, Prisons and Probation, and Ofsted.

The report complements local reporting of CAA through the website www.direct.gov.uk/oneplace. It explains what the first year of CAA has told us about how well local public services are delivering national and local priorities and spending £200 billion of public money. It sets out what we know about what helps and hinders improvement in local public services, to guide national and local policymakers. The report also provides information for local leaders and highlights examples of how their peers have overcome some of the common challenges they face.
