2nd December 2008
Shared Intelligence, 1 Fitzroy Square, London
This event was successfully held with representatives from Southampton, Portsmouth, Milton Keynes, Wokingham, Slough, Bracknell Forest, Royal Borough Windsor and Maidenhead and West Berkshire.
The expectations government has on how local authorities will change the way they deliver services in future, and how local authorities and their partners will be held to account through Local Area Agreements (LAA) and the Comprehensive Area Assessments (CAA)
From the previous network meeting on the 8th September member engagement was identified at a common issue for network members and they are now looking for support in developing arguments for strengthening partnership arrangements that members find compelling
Objectives:

Make practitioners aware what tools are available that help network members support their colleagues in making this argument
The executive in every authority understands the implications of CAA
