LAA Case Studies

Robust local performance management mechanisms are required if LAAs are to realise their full potential. This means LSPs must ensure that:

Outcomes and targets must reflect national, regional and local priorities
Each outcome has agreed, robust indicators with SMART targets
Appropriate mechanisms to gather, collate and analyse relevant data are in place
Progress can be measured at any given time
Monitoring and reporting mechanisms are in place
The quality of evidence is evaluated by partners
Possible remedial action is agreed between local partners and GO
Partners are clear who is responsible for which target

Performance will be reviewed by GO at six monthly intervals and plans will be required to be put in place to address any under-performance. More detailed information on performance management can be found in the article - ODPM publication Local Area Agreements- Guidance for Round 3 and Refresh of Rounds 1 and 2

The process of establishing outcomes and targets is underpinned by the priorities for improvement at local level. This means that the LSP partners, including local authorities, must agree a range of key objectives which must be agreed with the GO. Thereafter, the partners must agree the best measures that will measure improvement against the outcomes. Sport and physical activity can provide a wide range of indicators for this. (see Sport Playing its part in LAA).

Sport England is funding a number of surveys to help establish baseline data for local authorities. The Active People Survey is a key source of data for levels of participation in sport and active recreation. It also includes other measures such as club membership, involvement in competition, receiving tuition and contributing to sport through voluntary activity, as well as demographic information.
