Minutes:

The Board considered a report that provided an update on progress to date in the development of the 2008/09 Local Area Agreement (LAA).

 

It was noted that the HSP Performance Management Group (PMG) had negotiated thirty-five National Indicators and twenty-four Local Indicators (including the current Stretch Targets) for inclusion within the new LAA. In addition to this there were also sixteen mandatory education and Early Years targets.

 

As part the LAA the Partnership was required to produce a Story of Place, which set out, in narrative form, the context for the LAA. This reflected the Community Strategy set out how the priorities and Indicators included within the LAA had been selected.

 

The Board was advised that each of the Indicators were aligned to one of the HSP Theme Boards. Where Indicators were cross cutting and would be monitored by more than one of the Theme Boards.

 

As agreed at the previous meeting of the HSP, a new Performance Monitoring Framework for the Partnership had been developed, which would enable performance to be monitored with a greater degree of consistency across the Partnership.

 

It was noted that Lead Officers representing the Theme Boards would liaise with Lead Officers from the Government Office for London (GOL) regarding the setting of specific targets around the Indicators. This process would take place during April and May.

 

In response to a query in relation to existing Stretch Targets on Adult Participation in Sport, the Board was advised that there was a three-year target in place, which related to the 29.6% referred to in the report. As part of the negotiation between the relevant Council and GOL leads each of the existing Stretch Targets would be examined and appropriate targets for these would be agreed.

 

The Board was advised that if, after the initial six month period it was determined that a project should not longer continue to receive funding, a three month notice period would be given to the relevant organisation. In terms of the reallocation of the funding this would be considered as part of the ongoing Performance Management Framework.

 

It was suggested that a template setting out the responsibilities and roles of partners in achieving the National Indicator targets was devised once they had been determined.

 

The Board was advised that a further report would be brought to the Board at its July meeting.

 

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the content of the report be noted.

 

That, subject to ministerial sign off in June 2008, the Haringey Local Area Agreement 2008/09 to 2010/11, which encompassed the thirty-five National Indicators and sixteen statutory educational attainment and Early Years Indicators, be endorsed.
