2009 Organisational Assessment

In April 2009 Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) replaced the Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) process. CAA is a new way of assessing local public services in England. It examines how well councils are working together with other public bodies to meet the needs of the people they serve. Local public services will be held collectively to account for their impact on better outcomes. This means that CAA will look across Councils, Health Bodies, Police Forces, Fire and Rescue Services and others responsible for local public services, which are increasingly expected to work in partnership to look at what matters most and tackle the challenges facing their communities.
