Whats the governments interest in CAA?
Local authorities have agreed a single set of up to 35 targets, plus eight statutory education targets, which form part of the local area agreement (LAA) with government. The LAA includes both national priority targets for improvement, and purely local ones. The government is interested in how local services are performing against the national priorities for improvement, and CAA will assess how effectively public services are delivering against these; but CAA will also inform local services about how well they are performing against their local priorities, too.
