Progress through Prevention - Coventry's Refreshed Local Area Agreement 2006/07

In 2005/06, Coventry were chosen as one of 20 areas to pilot a new way of working which enables more flexible, responsive services and a more effective and productive relationship between central and local government and partner agencies.

 

The agreement brings together public services and partner agencies and will build on existing partnerships to address key priorities for tackling all areas of inequality across the City.

 

The 2005/06 LAA has recently been ‘refreshed’ and this process has involved a number of partners and stakeholders and the focus is very much on progress through prevention.

 

We see prevention as the key to improvement in all 4 LAA service blocks and to achieving the overall vision of the Coventry Partnership – ‘Improving the quality of life for everyone in Coventry’.

 

The LAA facilitates the pooling and alignment of a variety of funding streams which gives us more flexibility in how we use them.

 

This year the Coventry Partnership agreed to integrate the LAA Outcome Framework into the Sustainable Community Strategy's bigger performance management database.  This will ensure that Partnership Theme Groups are managing and delivering the priorities and targets contained within the LAA alongside those identified for local action in the Community Plan.
