CAA provides an independent assessment of how well local public services are serving communities and achieving long-term goals. It focuses on priority outcomes in Local Area Agreements and Sustainable Community Strategies. The assessment examines prospects for future improvement, sustainability, inequality, disadvantage, value for money, and how well services are integrated and empower local people. CAA uses evidence from organizations and engages local stakeholders to understand needs and draft reports, which are shared for feedback before publication.
