New routes to better outcomes

This is a new publication from LG Improvement and Development's Partnerships team. It comes in two parts:

  • Part 1: Improving public services through local partnership
  • Part 2: A practitioners' handbook

Improving public services through local partnerships

This publication analyses the progress made since 2004. It makes a case for further reforms from central government to consolidate the framework around local area agreements (LAAs) and strengthened local strategic partnerships (LSPs).

It provides valuable insights into current government thinking, including discussion from the May 2009 conference on the prospects for the current national performance framework following a general election.

A practitioners' handbook

This is a companion publication with information on 20 different approaches and methodologies currently being used by local partnerships in the UK for acheiving LAA targets and developing LSP capacity.

This handbook will be of particular value to LSP managers and policy or performance leads, and all those at the front line of LAA delivery.
