Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) reports on life in local areas

Oneplace, an interactive website providing information on the outcome of CAA in all top tier local authority areas, was launched on 9 December.

 CAA is the new way of measuring the performance of councils and other local public bodies, such as the police and fire service, in every area. It focuses on partnerships and outcomes and as such the role of the third sector is extremely important. http://oneplace.direct.gov.uk.
