Presentation on the CPA Assessment.

Minutes:
The Committee received a presentation on the Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) by Richard Hutton and Christine Piscina (Performance & Policy).
The Committee were advised that this was the final Audit Commission assessment under the CPA scheme, which would be replaced with Comprehensive Area Assessments (CAA) where the Council will be required to prepare a self assessment focussing on outcomes rather than processes and delivery. The overall scoring was 1 star which was mainly due to the Council’s low score in Children’s Services, which was a core service, or “level 1 indicator”. The Chair requested a briefing note on level 1 indicators. The Council’s direction of travel was evaluated to be “not improving adequately”.
The Committee were further informed that other scores included: Adult Services – “improved”, Resources – “3 out of 4” and Culture - “4 out of 4”. There were concerns that Culture scored highly when Muswell Hill Library was not accessible.
RESOLVED
That the presentation be noted.
