Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA)

Organisation Assessments are carried out at a more local level looking at how individual organisations are contributing to improving the quality of life in the local area. These assessments are made up of two parts:

• A Use of Resources Assessment
• A Managing Performance Assessment

Unlike the Area Assessment these elements are scored and contribute to an overall score for the organisation.  Scores are given out of 4:

• 1 - Does not meet minimum requirements. Performs poorly.
• 2 - Meets minimum requirements. Performs adequately.
• 3 - Exceeds minimum requirements. Performs well.
• 4 - Significantly exceeds minimum requirements. Performs excellently.

Ribble Valley Borough Council's first Organisation Assessment was published in December 2009.  A summary document and a full report are available. Information is also available through the Oneplace website.
