Aims of the Session • Focus on monitoring, reporting and performance management of the LAA • Enable Members to consider key issues after sign-off • Look at recent policy developments • Elected Members and the Community Leadership Role • Reflect on our current position and consider local procedures • Consider how can / does our Council influence strategy • Think about what developmental steps should we be taking now and in the short to medium term
Objectives for Today • Check our knowledge of new LAA arrangements • Explore the role of Members in LSPs and LAAs • Assess effectiveness of monitoring and reporting arrangements and our involvement • Identify practicalities and challenges • Consider how to use monitoring to manage and improve performance • Identify how to put our ideas into practice
The Agenda for Today • What’s new about the “new” Local Area Agreements? • What do LAAs mean for elected Members as Community Leaders? • Where are we now in our Council? • Where do we want to be? • What shall we do next?
What’s new in the second phase LAAs 2008 to 2011? • Reduced number of indicators and targets from average of 120 in Phase 1 to no more than 35 – plus “local indicators” and 16 statutory DCSF targets • Drawn from National Indicator Set of just under 200 indicators set in Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 • Greatly reduced Performance Reward Grant • No “mandatory” targets • Emphasis on partnership working and joint achievement • Area Based Grant - allocated for 3 year period with flexibility of application • Comprehensive Area Assessment
Where are we now? • How are we engaged in our LAA? • What reporting processes are in place? • How are Members involved? • How do we influence performance? • What is our Council’s involvement in the LSP? • What are the main challenges to our individual involvement as Members?
Where do we want to be? • What do we want to achieve? • How do LAA aspirations fit with the Council’s core business? • What is the link between our the LAA, the Sustainable Community Strategy and the Council’s medium and long-term aims? • What does the LAA mean for my constituents? • How can we influence success for the benefit of our communities?
What shall we do next? What do we need to do after today to: • achieve our vision • keep ourselves informed and involved • influence and support activity • further develop our commitment to partnership activity for the benefit of the communities we represent
