What is Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA)?
Comprehensive Performance Assessment is a government initiative that aims to help councils improve.
A team of Audit Commission Inspectors will assess the Council by looking at evidence about what we do and how we do it and by talking to residents, partners, members and officers.
All Councils in England will be ranked as poor, weak, fair, good or excellent.
High performing Councils will have more independence and the ability to do more for their residents. Poorer authorities will be given additional support to get better.
As part of the CPA the Council is required to carry out its own assessment of its performance and ability to deliver high quality services to the people of Dartford now and into the future.
This self-assessment
has been submitted to the Audit Commission and here on this
web site.
The Council will be inspected by the Audit Commission inspectors during
the week commencing 29 March 2004.
