NW CAA Summary of Area Assessments
09 December 2009
The Audit Commission released the results of the
Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) this morning. This is the
summary of the Area Assessment. The NW received 10 'green
flags'.
The Area Assessment is not scored. To provide a clear indication
of either significant concerns about future improvement or to
highlight exceptional performance or improvement the Audit
Commission has used red and green 'flags'.
The first year of assessment has resulted in the following 10
green and 18 red flags being issued in the NW. Many areas that
recieved red flags, also attracted a green flag. Some areas did not
recieve a flag at all.
