What is an LAA? • A three year contract between central and local government to deliver improvement in a local area • Contains up to 35 indicators drawn from a set of 198 national performance indicators (NIS) • These indicators are based on local priorities identified in the Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) • One of a number of action plans to deliver the SCS • A way of strengthening partnerships and partnership working, pooling budgets and streamlining performance management
The East Sussex LAA • Replaces the existing LAA (2006 – 2009) • Runs from 1 April 2008 – 31 March 2011 • 33 national indicators and 16 mandatory education and early years indicators are included • Each indicator has, or will have, targets aimed at improving performance and outcomes • 65 partners involved in delivery • NB. Local indicators will be included in the Sustainable Community Strategy plan/s
How we developed our LAA • Established basic principles for development such as • ensuring the LAA remains focused on making a significant impact for the residents of East Sussex • the SCS and existing LAA would be the starting point for choosing which indicators to include • Established criteria for the selection of indicators • Set up a Project Board to oversee development • Set up a Project Team to identify and negotiate the targets to be included, and to identify and secure the partners who would help deliver the LAA • Negotiated and agreed indicators and targets with partners and with Government via GOSE
The selection criteria We selected indicators that would: • Help deliver priorities within the SCS • Help deliver district and borough level priorities • Require a partnership approach for delivery • Address inequality or deprivation, poor performance, service improvement and sustainable development • Be supported by robust data and capable of being performance managed • Be able to deliver improvement over 3 years
What next • Ministerial approval received on 3 July • Action plans will be developed for each indicator • Performance will be monitored quarterly • The first performance monitoring report will be available in November • The LAA will be ‘refreshed’ in January 2009 • NB. Stretch targets in the ‘old’ LAA will continue to be monitored as part of or alongside the new LAA
