161 CAA will prompt LSPs to improve standards by focusing on locally agreed outcomes delivered by partners. It will also analyse the contribution that different partners are making to those outcomes.
162 CAA will enable follow-up risk-based inspections where there are problems in delivering outcomes. These inspections might focus on one or more partners across the whole LSP, or even beyond the LSP to other local public services.
163 LSPs that have good, shared systems for performance management (with performance reporting, resource allocation, and risk management) will find it easier to show that they are on track to achieve agreed outcomes than those that do not.
